2020 Peugeot Partner 1.5L Diesel · KS20 VZP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive repairs rather than preventative upkeep. The most recent test in March 2026 at 62,300 miles resulted in a pass but introduced an advisory for perished or cracking rear tyres on both sides. This indicates that age-related degradation of rubber components is beginning to manifest, marking a departure from the perfectly clean records seen in previous years. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a six-year-old van, averaging approximately 10,400 miles per annum. Between March 2023 at 33,849 miles and March 2025 at 54,266 miles, the vehicle covered over 20,000 miles, followed by another 8,000 miles leading to the March 2026 test. This steady usage suggests the vehicle has been used for regular duties rather than sitting stationary for long periods. A buyer must pay close attention to the front-end assembly following the faults recorded in March 2025. The test at 54,266 miles flagged a severely deteriorated nearside drive shaft CV boot and a slightly distorted road wheel. While the boot replacement was likely addressed, such deterioration often leads to premature joint wear if grease contamination has entered the bearing. The distorted wheel also suggests a previous impact that warrants a physical check for lateral run or uneven tyre wear during a test drive. The 2026 advisory regarding rear tyre condition requires immediate physical inspection of the sidewalls, as cracking indicates the rubber is reaching its structural limit regardless of remaining tread depth. Given the history of a CV boot failure, the buyer should also inspect all other rubber boots for signs of tearing or grease leakage. No significant structural corrosion or brake issues have appeared yet, but the transition from zero defects to multiple mechanical advisories suggests the vehicle is entering a phase where more frequent component inspections will be necessary.
