2021 Peugeot Partner Grip Premium Bluehdi 1.5L Diesel · SF71 FRC

The most recent MOT inspection conducted on 1 December 2025 resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. Based on the recent history, the maintenance trend appears stable, as the vehicle has successfully cleared its last two annual inspections without any noted mechanical issues or structural concerns. This clean record suggests that the vehicle has been maintained in a roadworthy condition and has not suffered from significant component failures that would typically trigger an MOT failure or necessitate immediate remedial work. The recorded mileage of 76,445 miles indicates an average annual usage of approximately 15,300 miles. This is considered high mileage for a vehicle of this age, suggesting it has been used frequently for long-distance travel or consistent commercial duties. While this level of usage often implies that the engine has been operated under consistent thermal conditions, it also means that mechanical components subject to friction and fatigue, such as the suspension system, drivetrain, and braking components, will likely show more significant wear than a lower-mileage equivalent. As the MOT history is currently clean, your inspection should focus on identifying wear that has not yet reached a failure threshold. During a test drive, pay close attention to the suspension by listening for any knocks, clunks, or rattling sounds when traversing uneven surfaces, which could indicate worn bushes, ball joints, or failing dampers. Test the braking system thoroughly; listen for any squealing and feel for any pedal pulsation or shuddering, which may indicate warped brake discs or uneven pad wear. Additionally, inspect the tyres for any signs of uneven tread wear or sidewall cracking, which could suggest alignment issues or age-related perishing. Given the high mileage, it is critical to verify the service history to confirm that major preventative maintenance items have been addressed. Specifically, check if the timing belt and water pump have been replaced, as these are vital for engine longevity at this interval. Inspect the engine bay for any signs of weeping from gaskets or fluid leaks from hoses, and check the condition of the battery and all fluid levels, including brake fluid and coolant. A thorough review of the service book is necessary to ensure that the higher-than-average usage has been supported by regular, scheduled maintenance.
