2015 Peugeot Partner 1.6L Diesel · EJ15 FHA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive rather than proactive approach to mechanical upkeep. The most recent test on 5 June 2026 at 63,224 miles showed the vehicle failing initially due to a stop lamp failure and multiple critical tyre defects. While it passed immediately after these repairs, the state of all four tyres showing perishing and being worn to the legal limit indicates that the previous owner only addressed essential components when forced by an MOT failure. The mileage profile is notably low for an eleven-year-old van, averaging approximately 5,750 miles per year. There is a significant gap of 7,000 miles between May 2024 and June 2025, followed by another 7,600 miles in the final year leading up to the latest test. This low annual usage suggests the vehicle may sit for long periods, which often leads to rubber-related issues such as the tyre cracking and perishing noted in the June 2026 record despite the low physical distance driven. A buyer must inspect the front drive shafts thoroughly, as the 2024 test flagged both nearside and offside CV boots as split. If these were not replaced with quality components, check for grease leakage and joint play to prevent imminent failure. The failure of the windscreen wiper in 2024 also suggests neglect of basic wear items. Given the age and low mileage, a close physical inspection for structural corrosion on the underbody and suspension mounting points is vital, as stationary vehicles often suffer from surface rust that high-mile vehicles avoid.
