2013 Peugeot Partner 1.6L Diesel · CP13 KUG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a clear shift toward suspension-related wear. While it passed the most recent test in May 2026 at 83,724 miles, the tester identified multiple advisories regarding the front suspension arms and rear axle bushes. This represents a departure from the clean 2024 and 2025 records, indicating that rubber components and de-linkages are now reaching the end of their functional life. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a low-to-mid-use profile, averaging approximately 6,400 miles per year. Between May 2024 and May 2025, the vehicle covered 8,699 miles, followed by another 7,325 miles in the year leading up to the most recent test. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to extreme mechanical stress, but the long intervals between tests can sometimes lead to the drying and perishing of bushings and dust covers, as seen in the recent advisories. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the front suspension geometry, as the 2026 test flagged both the offside and nearside arm bushes as worn or perished. The failure in 2025 regarding a torn ball joint dust cover suggests that the front-end is susceptible to environmental ingress. Furthermore, the rear axle swivel pins and bushes require close monitoring for play, as perished rubber here can affect vehicle handling and tyre wear if left untreated. The offside front tyre was also noted as being near the legal limit in the latest test, which will require immediate replacement.
