2019 Peugeot Partner 1.5L Diesel · LM69 FGG

The latest MOT test in September 2025 resulted in a pass, although the vehicle initially failed due to incorrect headlamp aim. The overall maintenance trend suggests a vehicle that is generally well-kept but is now entering a phase where age-related deterioration of rubber components and consumables is becoming evident. While the vehicle consistently passes its inspections, the recurring nature of advisories regarding tyres, brakes, and rubber boots indicates that the maintenance has been reactive rather than preventative. The recorded mileage of 43,376 miles over approximately seven years is considered typical for this model, averaging roughly 6,197 miles per year. This moderate usage level implies that the engine and drivetrain have not been subjected to excessive mechanical stress. However, this level of usage often means that components are susceptible to perishing due to age and environmental exposure rather than high-mileage wear, which is reflected in the history of deteriorating rubber seals and boots. Prospective buyers should focus their inspection on the front-end steering and drivetrain components. The history of severely deteriorated constant velocity boots and damaged track rod end dust covers is a point of concern. During a test drive, listen for rhythmic clicking sounds when steering at full lock, which would indicate that the CV joints have been compromised by the ingress of grit and moisture. Visually inspect the track rod ends for any signs of grease leakage or play, as failure of these covers leads to premature ball joint wear and can eventually affect the vehicle's tracking and steering precision. Attention should also be paid to the braking system and tyre condition. Previous advisories for pitted, scored discs and thin brake pads suggest a need for a full brake service if records do not show recent replacement. During deceleration, feel for any shuddering or pulsing through the brake pedal, which would confirm the discs remain in a degraded state. Furthermore, given the repeated history of front tyres wearing close to the legal limit, check the current tread depth and inspect for uneven wear across the tyre shoulders, as this often indicates a misalignment issue linked to the worn steering components.
