2013 Peugeot Partner 1.6L Diesel · NA13 XBV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a period of clean testing. The most recent inspection conducted on 31 January 2026 at 87,921 miles recorded no defects, indicating that the vehicle currently meets the minimum safety standards. While a failure was noted in August 2024, the owner successfully rectified the necessary issues to secure a subsequent pass, suggesting a reactive approach to addressing immediate MOT failures. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a low-use vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,700 miles per year. There is a notable increase in usage between August 2023 at 72,192 miles and August 2024 at 84,657 miles, representing over 12,000 miles in a single year. However, the usage returned to a lower level leading into the January 2026 test. This low annual mileage generally reduces the strain on the drivetrain and engine components compared to high-mileage commercial vans. Given the clean results of the last two tests, a physical inspection should focus on common wear points for the Peugeot Partner that do not always trigger an MOT failure. A buyer should check the structural integrity of the sills and wheel arches for corrosion, as age often introduces surface rust regardless of mileage. Additionally, inspect the rubber bushes in the suspension arms for cracking, as low-use vehicles can suffer from components drying out while standing. Checking the brake system for binding calipers or seized pistons is advisable to ensure the long periods of inactivity have not led to mechanical sticking.
