2017 Peugeot Partner 1.6L Diesel · AB16 MCD

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding mechanical wear and component degradation. While the most recent test in November 2025 at 153,160 miles passed, it introduced new advisories concerning suspension components. The tester flagged play in the offside front anti-roll bar linkage linkage and a worn nearside front suspension arm bush. These issues, alongside a persistent oil leak that has been noted across multiple consecutive years, suggest that mechanical faults are being reactive rather than preemptively addressed. At 153,160 miles, this nine-year-old Peugeot has averaged approximately 17,000 miles per year, which is significantly above the national average for cars. The data shows consistent usage between November 2023 and November 2024, where the vehicle covered nearly 9,000 miles in twelve months. This high-frequency use explains the accelerated wear on the drivetrain and braking systems, as evidenced by the failure in 2024 due to thin brake pads and a leaking radiator that needed replacement before the vehicle could re-test later that year. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the cooling system and the undercarriage. The recorded radiator leak in 2024 indicates a history of thermal stress, which should be checked for signs of current weeping or crusting. The recurring advisories for suspension bushes and anti-roll bar links indicate the front end geometry is nearing the end of its service life and will require investment to maintain handling quality. Furthermore, the 2025 report of tyres worn to the legal limit with uneven edges suggests potential alignment issues or incorrect inflation pressures that require professional verification.
