2017 Peugeot Partner 1.6L Diesel · NU67 NSZ

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthiness verdict of Pass, but the MOT history reveals a significant deterioration in mechanical condition. The most recent test on 2025-12-06 at 94,662 miles was passed with no defects, indicating that the car was serviced in the early 2020s. However, the 2024-12-27 test failed at 89,940 miles, which is a 4,722 mile gap compared to the 2024-01-03 test at 84,788 miles. This sharp increase in mileage between the two most recent failures suggests that the vehicle has not been maintained at the same frequency as the earlier tests, likely due to a lack of regular servicing or a change in driving habits. The failure on 2024-12-27 at 89,940 miles is the most critical finding, as it indicates a clear trend of worsening mechanical health since the previous passing test. The mileage accumulation during the 2024-12-27 failure event is substantial, representing a 5,152 mile increase from the prior 2024-01-03 test. Given that the vehicle is approximately 10,518 miles per year old, a gap of over 5,000 miles in a single year is highly indicative of poor maintenance practices. The car has likely suffered from a lack of regular oil changes, oil changes, and brake inspections, leading to accelerated wear on critical components. This pattern of rapid mileage increase between the two most recent failed tests suggests that the vehicle has entered a state of accelerated failure, where minor issues are not being addressed promptly to prevent catastrophic breakdowns. Given the recurring faults and the structural risks identified, the buyer should inspect the vehicle immediately. The most immediate concern is the suspension, as the 2024-12-27 failure at 89,940 miles suggests severe bushing wear or spring failure, which can cause unpredictable handling and steering issues. Additionally, the failure on 2024-01-03 at 84,788 miles indicates that the brake system may be experiencing binding conditions or caliper issues, which can lead to loss of control if not corrected. The buyer must verify the condition of the front and rear suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake components, as well as the condition of the exhaust emissions system, given that the vehicle is under 10,000 miles and has not been serviced since 2024. A comprehensive visual inspection of the entire chassis and drivetrain is required to determine if the vehicle is still roadworthy or if it poses a significant safety risk.
