2014 Peugeot Partner 1.6L Diesel · SL64 BYH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a shift from reactive repairs to mechanical wear. While the car achieved clean passes in 2024 and 2025, the most recent test in February 2026 at 115,454 miles identified two new defects. The presence of a corroded offside front coil spring and play in the offside front outer track rod end ball joint indicates that the suspension components are beginning to degrade due to age and typical usage cycles. The mileage pattern is consistent with a twelve-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 9,600 miles per year. The record shows a steady accumulation of roughly 9,600 miles between February 2024 and February 2025, and another 9,600 miles between 2025 and 2026. This regularity suggests a consistent usage pattern rather than long periods of standing, which typically puts predictable stress on rubber bushes, suspension components, and braking systems. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension to assess the extent of the corrosion on the coil spring, as corroded springs are prone to sudden failure. The flagged track rod end requires immediate attention to ensure steering precision and prevent uneven tyre wear. Given the 2023 advisory regarding edge-worn tyres, the current set of tyres should be checked for uneven scrubbing patterns which would indicate alignment issues or worn suspension components beyond the track rod end.
