2016 Peugeot Partner 1.6L Diesel · GC65 PWJ

This vehicle presents a maintenance history that fluctuates between periods of neglect and basic compliance, with the most recent February 2026 test indicating a worsening trend in quality control. While the van passed its latest inspection at 190,185 miles, the initial failure due to a missing wheel bolt is a significant red flag regarding the standard of mechanical oversight applied to the vehicle. Recurring issues with tyre wear and brake components suggest that maintenance is often deferred until the point of an MOT failure rather than being managed through proactive servicing. The vehicle has covered 190,185 miles over a decade, averaging approximately 19,000 miles per year, which confirms heavy commercial usage. The mileage accumulation has remained consistent throughout its life, with no significant gaps in the testing record. This high-intensity service life places substantial stress on the drivetrain and chassis, and the consistent annual testing suggests the vehicle has been kept in constant operation rather than subjected to long periods of storage. Prospective buyers should prioritise a physical inspection of the braking system, specifically checking for the twisted hoses noted in the 2026 test and the pitted discs flagged in 2024. The recurring advisories for tyres worn on the edges indicate potential tracking or alignment issues that may have caused accelerated wear on suspension components. Given the history of insecure rear bump stops and ball joint play, a thorough check of the suspension geometry and bushings is essential to ensure the chassis remains stable under load. The previous failure involving seat belt functionality and lighting circuits also warrants a comprehensive test of all cabin electronics and safety restraints before purchase.
