2016 Peugeot Partner 1.6L Diesel · NV66 EKA

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT as of 30 July 2025 at 131,209 miles, with no recorded defects, indicating that the most recent inspection found it roadworthy. Earlier that same week a failure was logged for nearside front steering rack play, a fractured off‑side front coil spring and slight nearside front suspension rod ball‑joint play, suggesting that those items were remedied before the 30 July test. Prior failures in December 2024 also highlighted a fractured nearside front coil spring, tyre wear on the nearside front and rear, thin rear brake pads and a deformed nearside vehicle structure. The pattern shows intermittent issues that have been addressed, giving a generally stable trend but with a lingering susceptibility in the front suspension area. At ten years old the van has accumulated 131,209 miles, averaging roughly 13,000 miles per year. The mileage rose from 113,648 miles on 5 December 2023 to 126,307 miles on 6 December 2024, then to 131,209 miles by 30 July 2025, confirming a consistent high‑usage profile rather than any prolonged idle periods. This mileage intensity exceeds typical expectations for a vehicle of this age, implying accelerated wear on consumables and load‑bearing components. A prospective buyer should give particular attention to the front suspension assembly: verify the integrity of both coil springs, inspect the steering rack inner joints for play, and confirm the condition of the front suspension rod ball joints. Examine the nearside vehicle structure for any lingering deformation that could affect rigidity, and check for any oil seepage around the engine bay. Tyre tread depth on both nearside front and rear wheels should be measured to ensure they are not close to the legal limit, and the rear brake pads must be inspected for thickness. Finally, confirm that the headlamp aim is correct, the windscreen washer operates, and that there are no active leaks, as these items have featured in recent failures.
