2018 Peugeot Partner 1.6L Diesel · OY18 YUG

Recurring issues with consumable components and drivetrain integrity define the mechanical history of this Peugeot Partner, characterized by a pattern of frequent advisories regarding braking systems and tyre wear. While the most recent test on 13 February 2025 resulted in a pass with no defects, this followed a failure just one day prior due to a split offside front outer drive shaft CV boot and a non-functional position lamp. The record shows a trend of repeated advisories for pitted or scored brake discs and thinning brake pads dating back to at least 2022, alongside consistent warnings regarding tyre tread depth and edge wear. The vehicle has covered 86,416 miles over approximately eight years, averaging roughly 10,802 miles per year. This mileage accumulation is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age and class. From a mechanical perspective, this steady rate of use suggests that components subject to friction and road contact, such as the braking system, suspension bushes, and tyres, are being used at a standard frequency, which aligns with the documented history of wear noted in the MOT results. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the braking system and front-end drivetrain during a physical inspection and test drive. Given the repeated advisories for scored and pitted brake discs, as well as thinning pads, it is necessary to check for any pedal judder or unusual vibrations when applying the brakes at speed. The recent failure involving the offside front drive shaft CV boot necessitates a thorough visual inspection of the rubber boots for any signs of tearing or grease leakage. On the road, listen for rhythmic clicking or popping noises when turning the steering wheel at low speeds, which can indicate further degradation of the CV joints. Tyre condition and suspension stability also warrant scrutiny due to the frequent advisories concerning edge wear and legal limit thresholds. Inspect the front tyres for uneven wear patterns, which could point to underlying issues with wheel alignment or suspension geometry. During the test drive, monitor the vehicle for any pulling to one side or steering instability, particularly when encountering uneven road surfaces, to ensure that the recurring tyre and brake issues have been fully addressed and are not symptomatic of wider suspension component wear.
