2017 Peugeot Partner 1.6L Diesel · MW17 XFG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a reactive service pattern rather than preventative care. While it passed its most recent test in December 2025 at 122,031 miles, this followed a significant failure on the same day due to critical braking issues and suspension wear. The trend suggests that the owner only addresses faults once they reach an MOT failure threshold, as evidenced by the transition from minor advisories to major mechanical failures within short intervals. At 122,031 miles over nine years, this Peugeot Partner has averaged approximately 13,500 miles per year. This is a relatively high mileage for a light vehicle, indicating heavy use of drivetrain and chassis components. The record shows a rapid accumulation of mileage with nearly 12,000 miles covered between November 2024 and December 2025. This consistent usage explains the accelerated wear seen on consumables like the front brake pads and coil springs, which reached the end of their functional life in late 2024. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension, as both nearside and offside front arm pins and bushes were flagged as worn in December 2025. The previous failure of a fractured offside front coil spring in 2024 indicates the suspension geometry is under significant stress. Additionally, the central front exhaust leak and the engine oil leak noted in the 2025 test should be monitored to ensure they do not escalate into more costly mechanical failures. The braking system requires close scrutiny due to the November 2024 failure for thin pads, worn discs, and an inoperative parking brake. Although the vehicle passed the subsequent test, the history of a binding nearside rear brake lever caliper suggests the hydraulic system may be prone to sticking. Ensure the parking brake operates fully and that the front discs show no signs of uneven wear before purchase.
