2010 Peugeot Partner 1.6L Diesel · CK10 WJF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history indicates a worsening trend regarding structural and mechanical integrity. While the car passed its most recent test on 20 November 2025, it failed just one day prior due to critical defects. The presence of excessive corrosion on the nearside suspension component mounting area is a significant concern as the tester noted the structural strength of the sill had been significantly reduced. This suggests the vehicle is reaching a stage where metal decay may outpace routine mechanical repairs. The mileage data suggests very low annual usage for a sixteen-year-old vehicle. The car recorded 43,990 miles in December 2023 and 46,537 miles by December 2024, representing an accumulation of only 2,547 miles over that year. This extremely low mileage often correlates with accelerated degradation of rubber components and structural oxidation, which explains the split CV boot and the play in the anti-roll bar linkage linkage observed in late 2025. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the nearside sill and suspension mounting points to assess the extent of the corrosion flagged in November 2025. Surface rust is manageable, but the report indicates a structural compromise that requires expert measurement to ensure safety. The buyer should also verify that the offside front drive shaft boot was actually replaced and that the CV joint shows no signs of grease leakage. Given the emissions failure in December 2024, the engine should be monitored for excessive smoke or poor idling, as low-mileage use can lead to incomplete combustion and carbon buildup.
