2004 Peugeot Partner 2.0L Diesel · LR54 MHA

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, but shows a clear trend of worsening structural degradation. While it passed the most recent test in January 2026 at 127,236 miles, the history reveals a persistent progression of corrosion across critical load points. The transition from advising on outer sills and suspension mounts in 2025 to flagging corrosion on seat belt anchorages and body panels in 2026 indicates that the vehicle's structural integrity is reaching a critical stage that requires immediate intervention. At 22 years old, the recorded mileage of 127,236 miles represents an average of approximately 5,783 miles per year. This low usage typically suggests less mechanical wear, yet the data indicates the vehicle has suffered from age-related neglect. Between January January 2024 and January 2025, the vehicle covered only 3,100 miles, yet failed due to a catastrophic brake pipe failure and a split CV boot, suggesting long periods of standing may have degraded rubber components and hydraulic systems despite low mileage. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the outer sills and seat belt anchorages, as these areas have been flagged across multiple tests for advancing corrosion. The 2025 failure regarding a leaking offside rear brake hose and total loss of brake pressure highlights a history of poor maintenance on the hydraulic system. Furthermore, the front suspension arm bushes and the CV boots should be checked for signs of repeated wear, as these were previous points of failure. The recurring mention of tyres worn to the legal limit in 2024 suggests a pattern of reactive rather than preventative maintenance.
