2013 Peugeot Partner 1.6L Diesel · LC60 DAD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. While it passed its most recent test in April 2026 at 167,471 miles, it failed just one mile prior due to multiple defects including a non-functional horn and ineffective wipers. The trend shows that the owner only addresses mechanical faults when forced by an MOT failure, as evidenced by the recurring presence of suspension wear and tyre issues that persist across multiple testing cycles. At 167,471 miles, this Peugeot Partner has averaged approximately 12,900 miles per year, which is consistent with heavy commercial or long-distance use. The data shows significant mileage accumulation between May 2025 and April 2026, where the vehicle covered nearly 20,000 miles in less than eleven months. This high annual mileage places considerable stress on the drivetrain and suspension components, which is reflected in the recurring issues with the front suspension arms and rapid tyre wear. A buyer must focus specifically on the front suspension geometry. The tester flagged both the nearside and offside front suspension arm pins or bushes as worn in April 2026. Although these did not yet result in excessive movement, they are nearing the end of their life and will likely cause steering instability or uneven tyre degradation. The history also shows a pattern of neglecting tyres, with the nearside rear reaching the legal limit of 1.6mm in the latest test and being flagged as an advisory back in 2024, suggesting a failure to replace consumables until they become safety hazards. Physical inspection should also verify the condition of the undertray, which was noted as likely to become detached in May 2025. Given the high mileage and age of the vehicle, a check for structural corrosion on the mounting points and exhaust system is essential, as the record only identifies surface rust. The windscreen damage noted in the 2026 test should be monitored for cracks that could spread and compromise the structural integrity of the glass over time.
