2020 Peugeot Partner 1.5L Diesel · MM69 PZX

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 09 February 2026 with no defects recorded. However, the inspection history reveals a recent failure on 06 February 2026 due to a major defect involving a split nearside front outer constant velocity boot. When reviewing the maintenance trend, there is a visible progression of component degradation, moving from a minor advisory for a severely deteriorated boot in September 2024 to a major failure in early 2026. While the recent pass indicates that the reported fault has likely been rectified, the history suggests that previous advisories were allowed to progress to the point of failure, which is a pattern to monitor regarding the owner's approach to preventative maintenance. With 111,991 miles covered in approximately six years, this vehicle has been driven at an average rate of roughly 18,665 miles per annum. This represents high usage for a vehicle of this age, suggesting it has been utilised extensively for commercial or long-distance purposes. Such high mileage puts increased strain on the entire mechanical assembly, particularly on the drivetrain, suspension, and braking systems. Buyers should be aware that components such as suspension bushes, coil springs, and various rubber seals are likely nearing the end of their optimal service life due to the high frequency of operation and cumulative mechanical stress. During a test drive, it is critical to verify the quality of the recent CV boot repair. Listen specifically for any clicking, popping, or rhythmic knocking sounds when turning the steering wheel under load, as these are classic symptoms of a damaged constant velocity joint that has suffered grease loss. You should also inspect the nearside front wheel area for any signs of fresh grease spray, which would indicate a new leak or an improperly seated boot. Given the high mileage, pay close attention to the suspension for any clunking or knocking over bumps, which may indicate worn dampers or perished bushings. Furthermore, the braking system requires careful scrutiny. Check for any brake shudder or vibration through the pedal during deceleration, which can signify warped discs, and ensure there is no pulling to one side which might indicate a binding caliper. Examine the tyres for uneven wear patterns, which could be a symptom of worn suspension geometry or incorrect alignment resulting from heavy usage. Finally, confirm that the service history is comprehensive, as the high mileage necessitates strict adherence to oil and fluid change intervals to maintain the mechanical integrity of the engine and transmission.
