2011 Peugeot Partner 1.6L Diesel · PJ11 DFN

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a gradual onset of suspension-related wear. The most recent test conducted in October 2025 at 161,028 miles identified an advisory for an offside front lower suspension arm ball joint with slight play. This follows a pattern from 2023 where both front lower suspension arm bushes were flagged for wear, indicating that the front suspension assembly is reaching the end of its service life. The mileage pattern is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 10,700 miles per year. Between the October 2021 test at 122,535 miles and the 2025 test at 161,028 miles, the van covered roughly 38,500 miles, suggesting steady and regular use. The intervals between annual tests are consistent, which typically indicates the vehicle has not been left to sit for long periods, which would otherwise lead to seized components or perished rubber parts. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the front suspension to assess the extent of the ball joint play noted in the recent records. The 2022 failure regarding a severely deteriorated offside front outer drive shaft CV boot suggests that rubber components are prone to cracking on this vehicle, so all boots should be checked for grease leakage or tearing. Given the previous 2023 advisory regarding a worn nearside rear inner tyre, the wheel alignment should be verified to ensure that the suspension wear is not causing further premature tyre degradation.
