2020 Peugeot Partner 1.5L Diesel · NV69 OEU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history shows a reactive trend rather than proactive care. While it passed its most recent test on 19 June 2026 at 94,133 miles, the failure just one day prior revealed multiple mechanical and safety defects. The presence of a fuel system leak in the engine bay is a significant concern that required immediate rectification, suggesting that the owner only addresses faults when forced by an MOT failure. The mileage profile is high for a six-year-old van, averaging over 15,000 miles per year. There is a notable surge in usage between January 2023 and June 2026, where the vehicle covered nearly 39,000 miles in just 37 months. This rapid accumulation explains the accelerated wear on consumables and underbody components. The gap between the February 2025 test and the June 2026 test indicates the vehicle is used heavily for commercial purposes, which correlates with the recurring failures noted in the suspension and braking systems. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the front end geometry, as suspension arm bushes were flagged as worn in both February 2026 and June 2026. These components appear to be failing progressively, which will affect handling and cause uneven tyre wear. The rear brakes also show a history of deterioration, with pitted and scored discs noted in early 2026 and again in 2026. You should verify if these discs were actually replaced following the recent June failure or merely cleaned. The previous failure for dangerously low tyre tread depth in February 2025 highlights a pattern of neglecting basic maintenance until the legal limit is reached. Given the high mileage and the recent fuel leak, the engine bay should be thoroughly checked for signs of fluid weeping or heat damage to rubber hoses. The windscreen chip remains a recurring advisory across three years, and while currently not a fail, it indicates a continued lack of attention to minor glass damage.
