2010 Peugeot Partner 1.6L Diesel · NV60 AXR

The 2010 Peugeot Partner shows a consistent pattern of deferred maintenance regarding suspension components and the braking system. In the most recent test in November 2025 at 88,227 miles, the vehicle passed with several advisories that indicate ongoing mechanical wear. Specifically, the front brakes only just met the imbalance requirements, a recurring issue dating back to the October 2024 test where both front and rear brakes were flagged for being imbalanced. The persistent nature of this fault suggests the calipers may be sticking or the braking system requires a professional service beyond simple adjustment to ensure consistent stopping performance. At 88,227 miles, the vehicle has covered a relatively low distance of approximately 5,500 miles per year. While low mileage often implies less drivetrain strain, the record reveals that rubber and metal components are aging prematurely. Suspension arm pins and bushes on both front sides were noted as worn in 2024 and 2025. Furthermore, the November 2025 test identified play in the nearside front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint. These types of failures are typical for a vehicle of this age but indicate that the suspension geometry is likely beginning to affect handling quality. Tyre management has been a recurring weakness for previous owners. Between 2020 and 2025, every MOT record shows an instance where the tester flagged at least one tyre as being worn close to the legal limit or unevenly on the edges. The current record shows both the nearside and offside rear tyres are again at the limit, meaning a buyer should budget for immediate replacement costs. Additionally, the insecure rear exhaust heat shield noted in the 2025 test is a minor concern but should be secured to prevent noise or potential damage to the underbody.
