2016 Peugeot Partner 1.6L Diesel · KM16 UED

The vehicle presents a worsening maintenance trend regarding its chassis and exhaust components. While the most recent test on 17 September 2025 at 121,424 miles resulted in a pass, the tester flagged five distinct advisories. These issues indicate a shift from the clean records seen in 2022 and 2023 toward a period of increasing mechanical wear. The presence of multiple advisories across suspension, braking, and exhaust systems suggests that minor issues are beginning to accumulate rather than being proactively addressed. The mileage profile indicates heavy usage, averaging roughly 12,000 miles per year over its ten-year lifespan. Between July 2021 and September 2022, the vehicle covered 19,429 miles, showing a significant period of high activity. Since the 2022 test, the mileage has climbed steadily from 112,934 to 121,424 miles. This consistent high-mileage pattern places greater demand on consumable parts and structural components, which aligns with the increasing frequency of advisories recorded in the last two years. A prospective buyer should focus on the suspension and braking systems during a physical inspection. The nearside front lower suspension arm bush has been flagged as worn in both the September 2024 and September 2025 tests, showing a persistent issue that has not been resolved. The 2025 report also highlights corrosion on both rear inner brake hoses and a minor exhaust leak at the central front clamp. These findings, combined with the previously noted deterioration of the offside front CV boot in 2024, suggest that the vehicle's underside is subject to wear and environmental degradation that will require attention soon. The damaged offside front anti-roll bar drop link noted in the 2025 test is a relatively minor component, but it adds to the overall list of pending repairs. Given that the vehicle has moved from zero defects in 2023 to five advisories in 2025, the buyer must budget for upcoming maintenance on the suspension bushings, exhaust system, and brake lines to maintain roadworthiness.
