2018 Peugeot Partner 1.6L Diesel · VA67 ESO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a clean pass in January 2026 at 109,380 miles. However, the maintenance trend indicates a reactive approach to repairs rather than proactive prevention. The most recent test failed just two miles prior to passing due to perished dust covers on both front anti-roll bar ball joints and the offside front suspension arm ball joint. While these issues were rectified, the recurring nature of front suspension failures suggests that wear components are only being addressed once they reach failure thresholds. At 109,380 miles over eight years, this Peugeot Partner has covered an average of 13,672 miles per year, which is significantly above the UK car average. The data shows consistent annual usage, with approximately 6,500 miles clocked between January 2025 and January 2026, and another 7,300 miles covered in the year leading up to the latest test. This high mileage profile places accelerated stress on the drivetrain and suspension components, consistent with the recorded faults. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension and drivetrain area. The history highlights multiple vulnerabilities, including a 2024 failure for severely deteriorated constant velocity boots on both front drive shafts and a 2025 advisory for play in the steering rack inner joints. You should check for grease leakage around the CV boots and test for any knocking or play in the steering wheel. Additionally, the non-excessive oil leak noted in 2025 requires close monitoring to ensure it has not progressed into a more significant failure given the high-mileage profile of the engine.
