2005 Peugeot Partner 1.9L Diesel · MF55 LKC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a worsening trend regarding suspension-related components. The most recent test on November 27 2025 at 122,503 miles saw the vehicle fail initially due to a non-functional stop lamp, an exhaust leak, and a perished anti-roll bar linkage. While it passed the immediate re-test, the persistence of worn front suspension arm bushes across the last three tests indicates that these components are reaching the end of their operational life. At 21 years old, the recorded mileage of 122,503 miles is notably low, averaging approximately 5,833 miles per year. The data shows consistent annual usage, for example, roughly 5,000 miles covered between November 2024 and November 2025. This low-frequency usage pattern suggests the mechanical strain on the drivetrain is minimal, but it often correlates with age-related degradation of rubber components, such as bushings and seals, which manifest as the recurring faults seen in the record despite the low mileage. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension, as the nearside and offside arm bushes have been flagged since 2023. The recurring failure of the anti-roll bar linkage suggests the entire front-end assembly may soon require a comprehensive overhaul. Attention should also be paid to the exhaust system to ensure the leak noted in the November 2025 failure was properly rectified rather than masked. Furthermore, the uneven wear on the offside rear tyre indicates a potential alignment issue or camber fault that requires professional adjustment to prevent premature tyre failure.
