2018 Peugeot Partner 1.6L Diesel · TK64 DEC

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent test on 11 June 2026 at 166,097 miles passed but introduced new advisories for slightly perished rear wishbone bushes and corroded rear brake discs. This indicates a progression from the suspension wear noted in previous years to more advanced component degradation, suggesting that rubber components are now reaching the end of their functional life due to the high usage. At 166,097 miles over eight years, this Peugeot has averaged approximately 20,700 miles per annum, which significantly exceeds the national average for light commercial vehicles. The data shows consistent high-mileage accumulation, with 7,368 miles covered between the June 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 7,359 miles in the final year. This rapid accumulation places immense strain on the drivetrain and suspension assembly, which is evidenced by the recurring failures of suspension arm bushes and wheel bearing components. A buyer must inspect the entire front and rear suspension geometry, as the history shows a persistent issue with wear on the offside front arm bush in 2024 and the nearside front bush in 2023. The braking system also requires close scrutiny; the tester flagged a nearside rear binding caliper in 2023 which evolved into pitting and corrosion on the discs by 2026. Furthermore, the exhaust flexi-pipe should be examined, as a leak was identified in both 2024 and 2025, indicating the previous repair may have been temporary or the component is failing again.
