2004 Peugeot Partner 2.0L Diesel · WA04 YSW

The roadworthiness of this vehicle is currently marginal, showing a recent history of significant structural and mechanical decline. While the vehicle passed its test in November 2024 at 116,772 miles, this followed a major failure just one month prior at 116,742 miles. The October failure revealed critical structural defects, specifically subframe mountings with excessive corrosion that reduced strength. Although these were rectified to pass, the presence of remaining corrosion on the seat Analysis anchorage indicates that oxidation issues are ongoing. The mileage pattern is notably low for a 22-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,300 miles per year. There is a significant gap in records between March 2021 at 89,482 miles and May 2022 at 107,517 miles, where over 18,000 miles were covered in a single year. Since then, usage has slowed considerably, with only 9,255 miles recorded over the last three years. This low usage often correlates with degradation of rubber components and fluids rather than mileage-related wear. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the chassis and subframes, as the previous failure for excessive corrosion suggests the vehicle is prone to deep structural rust. The front suspension requires close attention given the history of worn arm bushes, failed ball joints, and fractured coil springs noted in 2024. Additionally, the clutch was flagged as very heavy in 2022, which suggests the component is nearing the end of its functional life. The rear exhaust system and brake pipes should also be checked for leaks and thinning, as these have been recurring issues across multiple testing cycles.
