2011 Peugeot Partner 1.6L Diesel · NA61 XNH

The 2011 Peugeot Partner presented a clean pass at its most recent MOT on 25 February 2026, with no advisories or defects recorded by the tester. The prior test on 14 February 2025 also returned a pass with no recorded defects, indicating that the immediate roadworthiness trend is stable at the time of the latest examination. A failure was recorded on 13 February 2025, immediately preceding the pass, but with no defects or reasons listed, the precise cause of that refusal cannot be determined from the supplied data. The remaining tests in February 2024 and February 2023 both passed without any advisories, leaving the overall record largely free of flagged items. Against a 15-year vehicle age, the recorded mileage of 144,343 equates to an average accumulation of roughly 9,600 miles per year, which sits within a typical usage band for a light commercial vehicle of this type. Annual mileage progression appears steady and consistent across the five recorded tests, with no conspicuous gaps or unusually large jumps between examinations that would suggest extended standing periods or rapid, high-mileage use. The lack of advisory wear items on recent tests is unusual for a vehicle of this age and mileage, where brake discs, pads, tyres, and suspension components would ordinarily show some recorded commentary. Buyers should therefore approach the record with caution, as an absence of advisories does not confirm component condition, only that no items met the failure threshold on the day. Given the age and mileage, a physical inspection should focus on areas that MOT testing does not cover in depth. Brake discs and pads should be measured for wear beyond the legal minimum, and the rear calipers checked for binding, a common issue on high-mileage commercial vehicles. Suspension components, including coil springs, wishbone bushes, and anti-roll bar links, warrant a close look for perishing or cracking. The exhaust system, particularly downstream of the catalytic converter, should be inspected for corrosion and blowing joints, while structural areas around the rear axle, sills, and jacking points need a thorough check for rust that may not have been visible to the MOT examiner. A test drive to confirm clutch feel, gear selection, and any warning lights is also advisable before purchase. Buying score: 52, risk level: Medium. The clean recent pass is a positive data point, but the absence of advisories across five tests on a 15-year-old commercial vehicle warrants cautious interpretation rather than reassurance, and a pre-purchase inspection is strongly recommended.
