2012 Peugeot Partner 1.6L Diesel · WL12 ACZ

The 2012 Peugeot Partner shows a consistent pattern of failing the MOT on minor, avoidable items before successfully passing. In the most recent test in October 2025 at 71,978 miles, the vehicle passed after failing for high exhaust emissions and an inoperative offside stop lamp. However, the advisories indicate significant concern regarding tyre condition, with all four tyres approaching the legal wear limit and the nearside rear showing signs of perishing and cracking. The leaking offside front CV boot is a recurring issue since 2023, which will eventually lead to drive joint failure if not replaced. With 71,978 miles over 14 years, the vehicle has been used very sparingly, averaging approximately 5,141 miles per year. This low usage often leads to the degradation of rubber components, which is evidenced by the cracking tyres and the corrosion noted on the rear brake hose back in 2022. The recurring exhaust emission failures in both 2024 and 2025 suggest a persistent issue with fuel mixture or sensor health that has not been fully rectified, despite the passing result. The maintenance history suggests an owner who reacts to faults only when they fail an inspection rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. The repeated mentions of windscreen damage, low fluid levels, and bulb failures indicate a lack of basic attention to detail. A buyer should inspect the structural integrity of the underside, as covers have previously obscured testable items for years, and must budget for a full set of new tyres and a replacement CV boot immediately to ensure the vehicle remains roadworthy.
