2009 Peugeot Partner 1.6L Diesel · LM09 SVG

The vehicle presents a concerning trend of mechanical degradation. The most recent test in February 2026 at 131,315 miles revealed multiple critical failures, including an inoperative engine management indicator light and exhaust emissions exceeding manufacturer limits. This suggests underlying engine management issues that have not been successfully resolved. The suspension is in poor condition, with excessively worn front suspension arm bushes and ball joints noted, alongside a severely deteriorated offside front CV boot. The presence of a dented oil sump and a persistent oil leak indicates a reactive approach to maintenance rather than preventative care. At 17 years old, the mileage of 131,315 miles reflects a consistent usage pattern of approximately 7,700 miles per year. However, the record shows a history of neglecting basic components. Non-excessive oil leaks have been noted in every test since 2023, and the power steering system has suffered from recurring seepage in the ram for over three years. The repeated failure of exhaust emissions in both 2023, 2025, and 2026 indicates that the fuel system or exhaust hardware is failing repeatedly despite previous failures. A buyer should be wary of the structural integrity and drivetrain health. Corroded brake pipes were flagged in 2023, and recurring play in the steering rack inner joints has been a persistent issue for several years. The gearbox and engine mounts were noted as defective or damaged in 2024, which can cause significant vibration. Given the recent failure regarding the nearside rear door failing to open from the outside and the multiple lighting failures, the vehicle shows signs of poor investment in general upkeep and roadworthiness.
