2011 Peugeot Partner 1.6L Diesel · SF11 JZR

The vehicle presents a declining maintenance profile, with the most recent MOT test on 23 July 2026 at 263,071 miles showing an increase in mechanical advisories. While the vehicle passed, the tester flagged excessive exhaust smoke, a persistent oil leak, and worn rear brake discs. These issues, combined with recurring headlamp lens degradation seen in both January and July 2026, suggest a vehicle that is beginning to show significant age-related wear and engine fatigue. The mileage accumulation is high and consistent with heavy commercial use, averaging approximately 17,500 miles per year over its 15-year lifespan. The record shows a steady upward trajectory, with the distance covered between the January 2025 test at 232,254 miles and the July 2026 test at 263,071 miles representing over 30,000 miles in eighteen months. This high-frequency usage explains the frequent advisories regarding consumable components like tyres and brake pads. A prospective buyer must prioritise a thorough inspection of the engine and drivetrain due to the long-term presence of an oil leak, which has been noted in almost every test since January 2022. The January 2022 failure for excessive exhaust emissions indicates potential issues with the fuel system or turbocharger that may still be manifesting as smoke. Furthermore, the January 2023 advisory regarding corrosion on the rear vehicle structure cross member requires close physical inspection to ensure the structural integrity of the chassis has not compromised the vehicle's safety. Suspension components also require scrutiny. The history shows a pattern of play in anti-roll bar joints and suspension bushes, specifically noted in 2018, 2023, and 2025. Given the high mileage and the recent advisory for worn rear brake discs, a buyer should check the entire braking system and the condition of all suspension bushes and ball joints to ensure they are not nearing the end of their serviceable life.
