2019 Peugeot Partner 1.6L Diesel · C8 CBM

A pattern of critical wear on safety components defines this vehicle's history, culminating in a February 2026 failure involving dangerous defects. The vehicle passed its most recent test only after the rectification of seriously weakened rear brake discs and front brake pads worn to less than 1.5mm. This follows a broader trend of initial test failures involving various consumables, including tyre cuts, defective wiper blades, and headlamp misalignment, indicating that roadworthiness has frequently been restored only upon the discovery of failures during the annual inspection. The recorded 74,005 miles over seven years represents a typical annual accumulation of approximately 10,572 miles. This usage profile is consistent with the expected wear seen in the MOT history, particularly regarding the drivetrain and braking systems. At this mileage, components such as suspension bushings and drive shaft joints are subject to standard degradation, as evidenced by the recorded failure of the nearside front outer drive shaft constant velocity boot in early 2025. The severity of the braking system failure in early 2026 necessitates a detailed inspection of the current brake disc surfaces and pad thickness to ensure replacements were installed to a professional standard. During a test drive, the buyer should listen for any unusual noises during braking and feel for pedal judder or steering pull, which could indicate issues with the new discs or potential caliper binding. Specific attention must be paid to the front drivetrain, listening for clicking or popping sounds during tight, low-speed turns, which would suggest the previously failed CV joint has suffered internal damage from dirt ingress. Furthermore, the history of multiple tyre cuts and headlamp aim failures warrants a physical inspection of the current tyre sidewalls for structural damage and a verification that the beam pattern is correctly aligned.
