2016 Peugeot Partner 1.6L Diesel · WH65 AWR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but exhibits a worsening trend regarding mechanical wear and reactive maintenance. While the most recent test conducted in July 2025 at 174,022 miles passed, it followed a failure just two miles prior. The tester identified an excessively worn nearside front Macpherson strut ball joint, a defective gearbox mounting, and a worn stabilizer mount. The presence of these mechanical faults suggests that components are only being addressed once they reach an MOT failure threshold rather than undergoing scheduled preventative replacement. The mileage profile is high for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 17,400 miles per annum. There is a significant surge in usage between April 2023 and April 2024, where the van covered over 53,000 miles in just 13 months. This rapid accumulation places extreme strain on the drivetrain and suspension assemblies. The jump from 81,215 miles to 134,025 miles in a single year indicates heavy commercial or long-distance use, which accelerates the degradation of rubber bushes and combination components. A buyer must focus their physical inspection on the front suspension geometry and engine mounts. The history shows recurring issues with lower suspension arm bushes in 2024, followed by a failed ball joint and stabilizer mount in 2025. This pattern indicates a systemic fatigue of the front-end components. The buyer should also verify the current state of the central front oil leak noted in 2024 to ensure it has not worsened into a significant loss. Additionally, the report of multiple tyres being worn to the legal limit in 2025 confirms a history ofんですよ basic maintenance.
