2009 Peugeot Partner 1.6L Diesel · LM09 SWF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive repairs regarding recurring mechanical issues. While the most recent test in January 2026 at 107,201 miles passed, it followed a failure just day prior due to a supplementary restraint system fault and excessive exhaust emissions. The presence of an oil leak and pitted front brake discs suggests that the previous owner is only addressing immediate MOT failures rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,300 miles per year. Between January 2025 at 101,134 miles and January 2026 at 107,201 miles, the vehicle covered 6,067 miles. This steady usage indicates low-intensity driving, which often accelerates age-related degradation of rubber components and seals despite the lower mechanical wear-and-tear typically seen at higher mileage. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the braking system and exhaust assembly. The January 2026 test flagged worn and scored front brake discs, which likely require replacement to ensure consistent stopping performance. The recurring failures regarding exhaust emissions in both 2025 and 2026 suggest a deeper issue with the engine mixture or catalytic converter that warrants a professional diagnostic check. Additionally, the oil leak noted in the latest test should be traced to determine if it is a minor seal failure or a more significant engine cover leak. The suspension also requires attention following the 2024 report of play in the offside front anti-roll bar linkage and track rod end. Although these were not flagged in more recent tests, the age of the vehicle increases the likelihood of rubber bushes failing. Inspection should check for structural corrosion on the chassis and mounting points, as these are common areas of failure for Peugeot vehicles of this era.
