2013 Peugeot Partner 1.6L Diesel · SF13 FZX

The roadworthiness of this vehicle is currently compromised following a failed test on 10 April 2026 at 287,348 miles. While the vehicle maintained a clean record for several consecutive years, the most recent result indicates a mechanical or structural failure that prevented a pass. This shift in status requires immediate attention. Because no defects were recorded on the failure report, the issue likely stems from a specific component failure that occurred just before the test or a defect that was not immediately apparent during the previous clean inspections. The mileage profile is exceptionally high for a 13-year-old van, averaging over 22,000 miles per year. Between April 2022 and April 2023, the vehicle covered 36,504 miles in just twelve months, suggesting heavy commercial use or long-distance commuting. The rate of accumulation remained consistent in the following years, with roughly 22,000 miles recorded between the March 2024 and March 2025 tests. This high level of usage places significant stress on the drivetrain, suspension bushings, and braking system, which accelerates the wear of non-service items. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the structural integrity, specifically the chassis and mounting points, where corrosion is common on high-mileage Peugeot models. Given the mileage, the shock absorbers and suspension arms should be checked for leaks and excessive play in the ball joints. Since the 2026 failure has no listed defects, it is vital to identify the specific reason for the rejection to ensure it is not a major engine failure or a deep structural issue that would necessitate expensive repairs.
