2010 PEUGEOT PARTNER1.6L Diesel

The 2010 Peugeot Partner shows a consistent history of minor mechanical wear and recurring preventative maintenance issues. In the most recent test on October 2025 at 131,739 miles, the vehicle passed only after rectifying failures regarding thin rear brake pads and an insufficient windscreen washer system. While these items were addressed, the tester noted a persistent non-excessive oil leak and light misting on the nearside front shock absorber. The suspension arm bushes on both front sides have been flagged for wear across multiple years, indicating they are nearing the end of their functional life but have not yet causing excessive movement. With 131,739 miles over 16 years, the vehicle averages approximately 8,200 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a commercial vehicle of this age. The mileage record indicates a steady progression with annual testing, showing roughly 10,000 to 12,000 miles driven between 2023 and 2025. The recurring failure of the horn and washer fluid in previous years suggests the previous owner may have only addressed the minimum requirements to pass the MOT rather than performing proactive servicing. The braking system shows a trend of gradual wear, with brake discs noted as worn in 2023, 2024, and 2025. Given that rear pads were found below the legal limit in the latest failed test, a buyer should verify the remaining life of all friction components. Attention should also be paid to the front suspension arm bushes and shock absorber, as these have appeared as advisories or failures since 2024 and will likely require replacement soon to maintain handling precision and prevent uneven tyre wear.
