2015 Peugeot Partner 1.6L Diesel · SF64 VMK

This 2015 Peugeot Partner exhibits a high-mileage profile, having covered over 250,000 miles in eleven years. The most recent recorded MOT was conducted in November 2022 at 251,811 miles, meaning the vehicle has not undergone an official inspection in nearly three years. This significant gap in testing is a concern as it leaves the current state of safety-critical components and structural integrity unverified. The history suggests a pattern of reactive maintenance, where faults are addressed only following a test failure rather than through preventative servicing. The mechanical record reveals a persistent trend of suspension and braking system degradation. In the December 2021 test at 241,988 miles, the vehicle failed on multiple critical points including a fractured offside front coil spring, debonded suspension bushes, and a missing steering rack gaiter. While the vehicle passed the subsequent test in November 2022, the tester noted that all four brake discs were pitted or scored, and the offside rear brake was binding. The offside front CV boot was also flagged as severely deteriorated across multiple years, indicating a high risk of drive shaft failure if not replaced immediately. The consistent presence of a non-excessive oil leak from 2020 through 2022 suggests long-term engine seal wear that remains unresolved. Recurring issues with perished tyres and deflated spare wheels indicate that basic consumable upkeep has frequently been neglected by previous owners. Given the high annual mileage and the lack of an MOT since 2022, a buyer must thoroughly inspect for structural corrosion on the chassis and verify the condition of the brake hoses and suspension components, as these have shown a history of failure in the past.
