2014 Peugeot Partner 1.6L Diesel · K5 PWE

The vehicle presents a concerning maintenance trend characterized by a reactive-only approach to repairs rather than preventative care. While it passed its most recent test in August 2025 at 125,543 miles, it failed significantly earlier that same day with an extensive list of electrical failures and mechanical defects. The presence of multiple inoperative lamps, worn tyres, and suspension issues suggests that the previous owner only addressed faults when they became an immediate barrier to obtaining an MOT certificate. At 125,543 miles, this 12-year-old Peugeot averages approximately 10,462 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a commercial vehicle of this age. The record shows consistent use with roughly 7,900 miles driven between August 2023 and August 2024, and another 6,476 miles between August 2024 and August 2025. While the mileage accumulation is steady, the recurring nature of the defects indicates that the mechanical components are being pushed to their limits without sufficient oversight between service intervals. A prospective buyer must inspect the front suspension assembly thoroughly, as the offside front outer drive shaft constant velocity boot was flagged as severely deteriorated in 2024 and remained a concern into 2025. This indicates a high risk of grease loss and dirt ingress, leading to premature joint failure. Furthermore, the nearside front lower suspension arm bush showed signs of wear in the 2025 test, which suggests the rubber components are nearing the end of their functional life. The electrical history also highlights a pattern of neglecting basic lighting requirements, with stop lamps, registration plate lights, and position lamps failing across multiple years. A physical inspection of all exterior lighting is required to ensure no further wiring loom issues exist. Given the history of thin brake pads and tyres worn to the legal limit, the buyer should verify the current remaining life of all consumable components to determine if immediate expenditure is necessary.
