2012 Peugeot Partner 1.6L Diesel · WL12 ACF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a recent successful MOT on 5 March 2026 at 79,289 miles. While the most recent test recorded no defects, the vehicle underwent a failure just months prior on 23 December 2025 at 79,248 miles. That failure involved a split offside front outer drive shaft CV boot, incorrect indicator colours, and a faulty position lamp. The rapid succession of tests in late 2025 suggests the vehicle was undergoing remedial work to rectify these specific electrical and drivetrain issues, which were subsequently cleared in the December 2025 pass and the March 2026 pass. The mileage pattern indicates low annual usage, averaging approximately 5,664 miles per year over its 14-year lifespan. The record shows a significant period of low activity between 2019 and 2020, where mileage only increased by roughly 9,000 miles. A more consistent usage pattern emerged after 2020, with the vehicle covering roughly 10,000 to 15,000 miles in several subsequent annual cycles. The current mileage of 79,289 is relatively low for a 2012 commercial vehicle, though the recent short-interval testing in December 2025 suggests more frequent mechanical attention or a change in ownership/usage patterns during that period. A prospective buyer should focus inspections on the braking system and the drivetrain. The MOT history shows a recurring trend of brake component wear. In September 2023 at 56,460 miles, the tester flagged thin rear pads and low front pads, and by August 2024 at 65,848 miles, all four brake discs were noted as being worn. Although these are consumable items, the frequency of these advisories suggests a pattern of running components close to their limits. The recent CV boot failure on 23 December 2025 warrants a physical check of the offside front drive shaft to ensure the replacement was fitted correctly and that no secondary damage occurred to the joint. While no structural corrosion or suspension bush issues have been formally flagged in this record, the low mileage and older age mean a buyer should still inspect for rubber perishability and any signs of seized components resulting from long periods of inactivity.
