2011 Peugeot Partner 1.6L Diesel · DA60 XWN

The vehicle shows a worsening maintenance trend characterized by increasing frequency and severity of mechanical failures. While the most recent test on 4 February 2026 at 108,561 miles resulted in a pass, this followed a significant failure just two days prior. The February 2026 failure revealed critical issues including fractured front coil springs, excessively worn ball joints, and a defective track rod end. The recurrence of these suspension and steering defects suggests a pattern of deferred maintenance rather than proactive upkeep. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 7,200 miles per year. The data shows a steady progression from 43,702 miles in February 2019 to 108,561 miles in February 2026. There are no significant gaps in the testing history, but the increasing number of failures per test indicates that as the vehicle ages, the mechanical components are degrading at an accelerating rate. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension and steering assemblies. The record shows persistent issues with anti-roll bar linkages, ball joints, and track rod ends dating back to 2021. The recent failure of both front coil springs is a major concern regarding structural integrity and ride quality. Furthermore, the supplementary restraint system (SRS) warning lamp has been flagged in every single MOT failure since February 2021, indicating a long-standing and unresolved fault with the airbag or seatbelt pretensioner system that requires professional diagnostic investigation. The engine and braking systems also require scrutiny. An oil leak has been noted intermittently since 2019, appearing in the 2022, 2023, and 2025 records, which implies a persistent leak that has not been fully rectified. The 2025 test also highlighted a twisted brake hose and thinning brake pads. Given the history of lighting failures and minor body damage, a complete check of the electrical system and all exterior lamps is necessary to ensure the vehicle meets all legal requirements.
