2016 Peugeot Partner 1.6L Diesel · LN16 FSC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive rather than proactive approach to care. While the most recent test in August 2025 at 134,739 miles passed with only a deteriorated nearside front outer drive shaft boot, the preceding history shows a period of significant neglect in June 2024. The trend suggests that faults are only addressed once they trigger an MOT failure, as evidenced by the high volume of mechanical and lighting issues identified during the 2024 inspection. At 134,739 miles over ten years, this Peugeot Partner has clocked an average of approximately 13,500 miles annually. This high mileage indicates consistent commercial use, which accelerates the wear on heavy-duty components. Between June 2023 and June 2024, the vehicle covered 15,496 miles in a single year, a spike in usage that exceeds its average. This rapid accumulation explains the frequent degradation of suspension bushes and linkage-related components recorded during the 2024 failure process. A buyer must physically inspect the front suspension geometry thoroughly, as the record shows recurring issues with suspension arm bushes and anti-roll bar linkages. The tester flagged excessively worn bushes on both sides in 2023 and 2024, indicating the front end assembly may be nearing the end of its service life. The nearside front CV boot noted in 2025 should be checked for grease leakage, as a failure to replace this promptly will lead to an expensive drive shaft replacement. Given the high mileage and the history of worn tyres and lighting components, a comprehensive check of the braking system and underbody corrosion is essential. The 2024 failure for a missing brake pedal anti-slip provision and multiple sub-legal tyres suggests that basic safety maintenance has previously been overlooked. Inspect the chassis for structural integrity, particularly around the suspension mounting points, as high-mileage vans are often subject to significant stress loads that the MOT does not always fully capture.
