2006 Peugeot Partner 1.6L Diesel · PF06 HDG

The vehicle's roadworthiness shows a worsening trend regarding corrosion and fluid management. While the most recent test on 18 February 2026 at 141,857 miles resulted in a pass, the vehicle required a retest to rectify a failed position lamp. The record indicates a persistent and escalating issue with brake pipe corrosion. The tester flagged corroded offside front and rear brake pipes in 2026, which mirrors issues noted in 2025 and 2024. An oil leak has remained a constant presence since at least February 2023, suggesting a long-term, non-critical but ongoing mechanical seepage. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per year. The data shows steady progression from 132,140 miles in February 2023 to 141,857 miles in February 2026. This gradual increase suggests regular, predictable use rather than long periods of inactivity or heavy commercial strain. The intervals between MOT tests are regular, providing a reliable chronological trail of the vehicle's condition over the last three years. A prospective buyer must prioritise a thorough inspection of the braking system and chassis. The recurring advisories and failures regarding brake pipe corrosion indicate that the lines are deteriorating. While grease may have been used to mask the extent of the corrosion, the repeated mentions of this fault suggest the metal is thinning. The presence of a long-term oil leak also warrants a close examination of the engine seals and sump to determine if the leak is stable or likely to worsen. Tyre maintenance appears neglected by previous owners. The record shows a pattern of tyres being presented at or near the legal limit, with specific failures for perished and cracking sidewalls in 2024, 2025, and 2026. The 2025 test specifically highlighted corroded nearside front coil springs. Given the age of the vehicle and the history of component wear, a physical inspection of the suspension bushes, shock absorbers, and the underside for structural rust is essential before purchase.
