2018 Peugeot Partner 1.6L Diesel · MA18 MPZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive repairs regarding rubberwork components. The most recent test in March 2026 at 116,341 miles identified a minor leak in the front exhaust flexipipe and a severely deteriorated offside front outer CV boot. This specific CV boot issue follows a failure in March 2023 for the exact same component, suggesting that while faults are eventually addressed, they often persist until inspection rather than being caught through preventative maintenance. The Peugeot Partner exhibits high mileage for its age, averaging approximately 14,500 miles per year. There is a significant surge in usage between the March 2023 test (86,429 miles) and the March 2025 test (106,890 miles), covering over 20,000 miles in just two years. This consistent heavy usage places considerable strain on the drivetrain and braking system, which is reflected in the multiple advisories regarding component wear recorded across the various inspections. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the braking system and suspension geometry. The 2025 test flagged all four brake discs as being worn, pitted, or scored, alongside a binding offside rear service brake. These indicators suggest the braking hardware is nearing the end of its effective life. Furthermore, the worn lower suspension arm bushes on both front and rear axles noted in 2025 should be verified to ensure they have been replaced to prevent erratic handling or uneven tyre wear. The recurring windscreen advisory for a damaged glass across three years also indicates a persistent chip or crack that remains unaddressed, which should be monitored for structural spread.
