2010 Peugeot Partner 1.6L Diesel · D26 GED

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a persistent trend of reactive repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent test in May 2026 at 102,277 miles flagged significant wear, specifically pitting and scoring on all four brake discs. More critically, the parking brake efficiency barely met the required threshold, indicating that the system is nearing a point of functional failure. This follows a long-term pattern where braking components are only addressed once they trigger MOT failures or borderline advisories. At 16 years old, the recorded mileage of 102,277 miles represents a moderate usage of approximately 6,400 miles per year, which is typical for a light commercial vehicle. However, there is a notable gap in records between 2013 and 2015, where the vehicle sat for nearly 19,000 miles without inspection. Since 2015, the mileage accumulation has remained consistent, though the low annual mileage suggests the vehicle undergoes long periods of stationary use which likely contributed to the degradation of rubber components and surface-related corrosion. A buyer must focus closely on the structural integrity of the sills, as the 2025 test identified corrosion on both the nearside and offside front structures. While this did not reduce structural rigidity at that time, corrosion on these models often progresses rapidly if left unsealed. The suspension also shows a history of weakness, with ball joints being flagged in 2017, 2019, and 2025. The recent deterioration of the nearside front CV boot noted in 2025 should be inspected for grease leakage and potential damage to the drive shaft. The braking system requires immediate attention due to the pitted discs and the marginal performance of the parking brake. Any prospective buyer should also verify the nearside front seat belt webbing, which was frayed in 2025, as this safety item. Given the recurring issues with lighting and minor components across various years, a thorough mechanical inspection is necessary to ensure that no hidden faults have emerged beyond those captured by the MOT tester.
