2017 Peugeot Partner 1.6L Diesel · NU17 LGA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive care. While it passed its most recent test in August 2025 at 127,848 miles, it failed that same session due to an inoperative engine management system light. The presence of an MIL failure indicates a potential electronic or sensor issue that was rectified immediately before the pass, suggesting that faults are only addressed when they threaten an MOT rather than being maintained during routine service intervals. At 127,848 miles over nine years, this Peugeot Partner averages approximately 14,200 miles per annum, which is above the national average for light commercial vehicles. The mileage accumulation is consistent, with roughly 7,000 miles driven between the July 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 3,300 miles between August 2024 and August 2025. This high usage suggests the vehicle has been a regularly workhorse, placing significant strain on wear components like the suspension and braking system as seen in the record. A buyer must specifically inspect the front suspension, as the August 2025 test flagged play in both front MacPherson strut top mounts and bushes. This is a recurring wear point on high-mileage vans that can affect handling precision. The braking system also shows a pattern of neglect, with thin rear brake pads noted in 2022 and again in 2025. This trend suggests the owner waits until components are near the legal limit before replacement, which increases the risk of scoring on the brake discs. A physical verification of the engine management system is also required to ensure the previous fault was fully resolved and not merely cleared with a diagnostic tool.
