2017 Peugeot Partner 1.6L Diesel · NV17 WHC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. The most recent test in January 2025 at 143,972 miles showed an initial failure due to an inoperative engine malfunction indication light and a deteriorated exhaust flexible section. While the vehicle passed upon re-test, the presence of an MIL fault suggests underlying engine management or sensor issues that were not fully addressed beyond clearing the fault code. At 143,972 miles over nine years, this Peugeot Partner averages approximately 16,000 miles per year, which is significantly above the national average for light commercial vehicles. The data shows a sharp increase in usage between January 2023 and January 2024 and early 2025, where the vehicle covered 21,182 miles in just twelve months. This high annual mileage puts considerable strain on drivetrain components and suspension bushings, which is reflected in the wear-related failures noted in the later records. A buyer should scrutinise the front braking assembly, as the January 2024 test flagged both thin brake pads and scored/pitted discs alongside two front tyres reaching the legal limit. The recurring nature of uneven tyre wear suggests a potential alignment issue or worn suspension components that require immediate inspection. Furthermore, the exhaust system needs a thorough physical check to ensure the replaced flexible section is securely fitted, as these components are prone to further degradation under high-mileage stress.
