2015 Peugeot Partner 1.6L Diesel · ML15 WCV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive ownership pattern rather than preventative care. While it passed its most recent test in January 2026 at 83,670 miles, the immediate failure just days prior highlights a significant history of neglected items. The tester recently flagged multiple lighting failures, ineffective wipers, and critical mechanical issues including a split CV joint boot and a fractured front coil spring. This trend of failing on multiple items suggests that the owner only addresses faults when they become necessary to pass the MOT test. The mileage profile remains consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,600 miles per year. There is a clear gap of 8,362 miles between the December 2023 and January 2025 tests, followed by another 7,611 miles leading into the January 2026 inspection. This steady accumulation suggests regular road use, yet the low annual mileage may not have prevented the typical degradation of rubber components and braking hardware, which is evidenced by the recurring wear-related advisories noted in the record. A buyer must personally inspect the front suspension thoroughly, as the nearside front anti-roll bar linkage showed play in the 2026 test following a previous coil spring failure in 2025. The offside front drive shaft boot requires close scrutiny for grease leakage, as split boots lead to rapid joint failure if not replaced. The braking system shows a history of neglect, including thin pads, pitted discs, and a binding nearside rear caliper. Given that the front tyres were near the legal limit in the most recent test, immediate expenditure on consumables is likely.
