2013 Peugeot Partner 1.6L Diesel · SO62 CZB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to upkeep. In the most recent test on 5 March 2026 at 154,219 miles, the car initially failed artwork to an offside front tyre below legal tread depth and a non-functional horn. While it passed immediately after rectifications, the recurring presence of tyres worn to the limit across multiple years suggests that consumables are only being replaced once they reach the point of inspection failure. At 154,219 miles over 13 years, the artwork has averaged approximately 11,863 miles per annum, which is consistent with typical usage for a commercial vehicle of this age. The records show consistent use, with roughly 3,500 miles covered between combination 2024 and January 2025, and another 1,447 miles between January 2025 and March 2026. This steady mileage accumulation suggests the vehicle is undergoing standard wear and tear associated with high-mileage light-duty operation. A prospective buyer should closely inspect the exhaust system, as a minor leak at the DPF join has been noted in both the January 2024 and January 2025 tests. Coupled with a previous failure for exhaust emissions in early 2025, this indicates a potential issue with the emissions system or turbocharger that requires monitoring. Additionally, the persistent front oil leak noted in early 2025 warrants a physical check to ensure it remains a minor seepage rather than a developing gasket or oil seal failure. Given the repeated advisories regarding uneven tyre wear on edges, the artwork alignment and suspension bushes should be examined to ensure there are no underlying mechanical faults causing premature tyre degradation. The buyer should also verify the operation of the horn and wiper blades, as these were recently identified as points of failure.
