2017 Peugeot Partner 1.6L Diesel · OV17 TXA

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthiness rating of Pass, but the MOT history indicates a clear deterioration in mechanical condition since the last successful test in April 2026. The most recent failure on 30 April 2026 at 91,136 miles was a nearside front position lamp, which is a critical failure point that must be addressed immediately. This failure occurred after a successful test in April 2025 at 88,040 miles, demonstrating a significant gap of 3,096 miles between the two most recent valid tests. Such a prolonged interval suggests that the vehicle has been in possession for over two years without any major servicing, allowing wear on critical components like the brake discs, suspension bushes, and exhaust emissions to accumulate. The current test in April 2026 at 91,136 miles confirms that the vehicle is still passing, but this rating is contingent upon the resolution of the 2026-04-30 failure. The mileage pattern reveals a distinct trend of rapid accumulation over a short period, particularly concerning the nearside front tyres. The vehicle failed on 16 April 2025 at 88,039 miles due to worn close-to-legal limit tyres, a condition that was also flagged in the 2024-04-22 test at 83,789 miles. This indicates that the owner has been neglecting basic tyre maintenance for the past three years, accumulating approximately 3,247 miles of tread wear in a short timeframe. While the vehicle has not yet reached the legal limit of 2.36mm, the history shows that the owner has not maintained the tyre tread depth within the recommended range for the last three years. This pattern suggests that the vehicle requires immediate attention to prevent further degradation of the front suspension and braking system. In conclusion, the vehicle is currently rated Pass, but this rating is precarious and depends on the immediate resolution of the 2026-04-30 failure. The maintenance trend is clearly worsening, with a three-year gap between the most recent valid test and the current one. The buyer must inspect the vehicle immediately to address the nearside front lamp failure and the accumulated wear on the front tyres. Given the rapid mileage accumulation and the history of tyre wear, the vehicle is at risk of serious mechanical issues if not serviced within the next few months. The buyer should consult a professional mechanic to diagnose the 2026-04-30 failure and plan a comprehensive service, including potential suspension bushings and brake disc replacement, to restore the vehicle's safety rating.
