2009 Peugeot Partner 1.4L Petrol · SF09 AYV

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate, but the maintenance history reveals a concerning structural trend. While it passed its most recent test in December 2025 at 75,254 miles, this followed just eight days after a major failure involving structural integrity. The presence of excessive corrosion on the offside suspension mounting and both inner rear sills indicates a significant risk of structural weakness. Although the vehicle passed recently, the detection of free play in the offside steering rack suggests that mechanical components are beginning to fatigue despite low mileage. At 17 years old, the recorded mileage of 75,254 miles represents an average of approximately 4,427 miles per year. This low usage pattern often correlates with the degradation of rubber-based components rather than mechanical wear, which is evident in the test record. Between July 2023 and July 2024, the vehicle covered only 1,115 miles, yet suffered multiple failures including a perished fuel filler hose and split CV boots. This suggests the vehicle may sit for long periods, allowing materials to perish between tests. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the inner sills and suspension mounting points to ensure the structural corrosion noted in December 2025 has not progressed beyond repairable limits. The previous history of corroded brake pipes across multiple corners of the vehicle requires a close look for leaks or thinning metal, as these were recurring issues. Furthermore, the steering rack free play and the CV boots are critical items that should be monitored or replaced to ensure the steering remains precise and the drivetrain remains protected from debris ingress.
