2018 Peugeot Partner 1.2L Petrol · YY18 YMM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows signs of recent decline based on the most recent inspection. While the car passed the June 2026 test at 21,281 miles, several advisories emerged that were absent in previous years. Specifically, the tester flagged slight free play in the steering rack and noted all three tyres reaching the legal limit, indicating that a lapse in basic upkeep has occurred after several years of clean records. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,660 miles per year. Between June 2022 and June 2024, the vehicle covered only 3,249 miles, showing consistent low-usage patterns. However, the recent jump of 1,938 miles between 2024 and 2026 suggests a change in usage. Such low mileage often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components and potential corrosion on braking surfaces despite the lack of mechanical wear. A buyer must inspect the steering system personally to determine if the detected free play is a minor adjustment issue or a sign of impending steering rack joint failure. The uneven tyre wear noted on the front and rear corners suggests an alignment problem or worn suspension bushes that require immediate attention. Furthermore, the missing central rear passenger seat noted in 2026 and the previously stowed seats in 2025 mean the buyer should verify all seatbelts and locking mechanisms are present and functional according to safety standards.
