2008 Peugeot Partner LX600 55KW 1.6L Diesel · RT02 AUT

The vehicle presents an inconsistent roadworthiness profile characterized by a recent failure following periods of intermittent passes. While the most recent test on 16 July 2025 at 198,177 miles resulted in a failure without recorded defects, this follows a concerning period of instability in 2023. The trend suggests a vehicle that has undergone reactive maintenance to meet testing standards rather than proactive upkeep, as the multiple failures in a short window indicate that significant mechanical or safety issues were present just prior to those inspections. The recorded mileage of 198,177 miles over 18 years averages to approximately 11,000 miles per annum, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a commercial vehicle of this age. However, the data shows a significant gap in records between September 2021 at 195,127 miles and August 2023 at 158,471 miles. This discrepancy suggests a chronological error in the records or an odometer rollback, as the mileage decreases between these tests. The vehicle covered nearly 40,000 miles in the two years between the 2023 and 2025 tests, placing heavy strain on the drivetrain and suspension components at this high mileage bracket. A buyer must prioritise a thorough physical inspection of the structural integrity, specifically the sills and mounting points where corrosion is common on this model. Given the high mileage and the history of testing failures, check for fatigue in the suspension bushes, worn coil springs, and binding calipers. The repeated failures in August 2023 suggest the vehicle has previously struggled with emissions or braking components that required immediate attention to pass. Verify the exhaust system for leaks and inspect the engine mounts to ensure the high-mileage usage has not led to accelerated mechanical wear.
