2011 Peugeot Partner 1.6L Diesel · CV11 ACX

The current roadworthiness status of this Peugeot Partner appears stable following a clean pass in November 2024. While the vehicle faced significant scrutiny in previous years, the most recent test at 125,288 miles indicates that the owner addressed the previous mechanical shortcomings. The transition from a failure-heavy history in 2022 and 2023 to a fault-free certificate suggests a period of corrective maintenance, though the long gap since the last inspection requires a thorough physical check to ensure no new issues have developed in the nine months since the certificate was issued. The recorded mileage of 125,288 over a fifteen-year lifespan averages approximately 8,350 miles per year, which is consistent with typical light commercial vehicle usage. The vehicle covered roughly 14,000 miles between the November 2023 pass and the November 2024 test, representing a period of higher-than-average utilization. This increased usage likely necessitated the replacement of the worn suspension and braking components flagged during the 2023 failure. Prospective buyers should focus their inspection on the areas previously flagged as recurring weaknesses. The 2023 record highlighted issues with the anti-roll bar linkages, steering rack joints, and coil spring corrosion, all of which are common wear points on this chassis. Verify that these repairs were completed with quality parts rather than temporary fixes. Given the previous history of tyre wear on the nearside front, check the wheel alignment and suspension geometry for signs of uneven scrub. Inspect the offside wing and door area, as previous damage was noted in 2022, to ensure that any bodywork repairs were performed to a professional standard and have not masked underlying structural corrosion.
