2018 PEUGEOT PARTNER1.6L Diesel

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test in June 2026 at 85,031 miles resulted in a pass following an initial failure for a non-functional washer. This represents a significant improvement compared to the June 2024 inspection where the vehicle suffered multiple mechanical and safety failures. While the current status is clean, the history suggests components are often only addressed once they fail inspection. The mileage progression is consistent with an eight-year-old van, averaging approximately 10,600 miles per year. There is a notable gap of 13,704 miles recorded between June 2024 and June 2025, followed by another 13,279 miles between June 2025 and June 2026. This steady usage indicates regular operation rather than long periods of standing which can lead to seized components. The consistent accumulation of mileage suggests the vehicle is seeing typical commercial use, which explains the wear observed on braking and suspension components. A buyer must conduct a thorough in-person inspection of the suspension and braking systems. The 2024 failure highlighted a fractured offside front coil spring and significantly worn rear brake discs and pads, indicating the braking assembly was previously neglected. Although these were reportedly rectified, the buyer should check for uneven pad wear and signs of binding calipers or surface corrosion on the discs. The recurring issue with tyres wearing to the legal limit in 2023 and 2024 suggests the previous owner delayed replacing consumables until they became hazardous. Attention should also be paid to electrical and wiper assemblies, as the record shows repeated failures regarding headlamps, wiper blades, and washer systems. Given the fractured spring in 2024, inspecting the structural integrity of the mounting points and the condition of the rubber bushes is vital to ensure no further suspension geometry issues shifted. The vehicle appears functional, but the history of multiple simultaneous failures implies the next owner should be prepared for upcoming maintenance items as mileage increases.
