2010 Peugeot Partner 1.6L Diesel · MT10 PNE

The vehicle currently presents an unroadworthy state, showing a clear trend of worsening maintenance standards. The most recent MOT test on 3 June 2026 at 207,863 miles resulted in a failure with multiple critical safety defects. This failure represents a significant decline from the previous pass in 2025, as the vehicle moved from minor advisories to severe failures in steering, suspension, and braking. The data suggests a reactive approach to repairs where components are only addressed after failing inspection. At 207,863 miles, this 16-year-old Peugeot Partner has covered an average of approximately 13,000 miles per year. While the mileage accumulation is consistent, the condition of mechanical components has deteriorated rapidly. Between the 2024 test at 185,615 miles and the June 2026 failure, the vehicle covered over 22,000 miles. During this period, once-marginal components like the track rod end joints and suspension bushes progressed from slight play to a serious risk of detachment and total mechanical failure. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension and steering assembly, as the record shows recurring issues with suspension arm bushes, track rod ends, and anti-roll bar droplinks. The recent failure specifically highlighted a missing steering rack gaiter and an excessively worn nearside front ball joint, which compromise the steering integrity. The braking system requires immediate attention; the tester found the nearside rear pads so thin that a performance test could not even be completed, indicating a total failure to monitor consumable wear between intervals. The persistent oil leak noted since 2025 requires professional investigation to determine if it is a minor seal or a developing gasket failure. Furthermore, the repeated failure of CV boots and the windscreen wiper blade indicates that basic preventative maintenance has been neglected. Given the high mileage and the frequency of serious mechanical failures in the last two years, the vehicle likely requires significant capital investment to bring back to a safe and reliable condition.
