2015 Peugeot Partner 1.6L Diesel · MW15 YGC

The 2015 Peugeot Partner presents a stable and recently improving maintenance picture as of its most recent MOT on 10 April 2026 at 98,346 miles, where it passed with zero defects. That clean sheet is significant given the failures and advisories recorded in the preceding years. The 2024 test cycle tells the clearest story of corrective work being done. On 15 April 2024 at 92,082 miles the vehicle failed on a fractured offside front coil spring, a split constant velocity boot, an excessively worn lower suspension arm ball joint, worn rear brake discs and thin rear brake pads. A retest the very next day on 16 April 2024 passed, with only a slightly frayed nearside front seat belt webbing noted as an advisory. That advisory was subsequently addressed before the 2025 test. The trajectory from multiple suspension and braking defects in 2024 to a completely clean pass in 2026 suggests a conscientious owner carried out overdue repairs and has since kept on top of routine maintenance. The mileage accumulation of roughly 8,900 miles per year is entirely typical for a light commercial van of this age and does not raise concerns about either excessive wear or suspiciously low use. The recorded intervals are consistent, moving from 88,948 miles in March 2023 to 92,082 miles in April 2024, then to 95,338 miles in April 2025 and finally 98,346 miles in April 2026. There are no anomalous gaps or sudden jumps in the odometer readings that would suggest long periods of disuse or tampering. The annual test pattern itself is regular and predictable, which is a positive indicator of ongoing care rather than neglect punctuated by last-minute MOT preparation. A buyer should still carry out a focused physical inspection of the front suspension and drivetrain components that were flagged in 2024. The offside front coil spring was fractured, the lower suspension arm ball joint was excessively worn, and the constant velocity boot was split, meaning that spring, arm and driveshaft were likely replaced. A thorough check underneath for fresh components, correct torque on suspension fixings, and the condition of the replacement CV joint is advisable. The rear braking system also drew attention across multiple tests, with worn discs and thin pads noted in both 2023 and 2024. Inspect the rear discs for scoring and the pads for remaining thickness, and confirm whether these parts have been renewed since the 2024 advisory cleared. The offside outer sill damage flagged in 2023 warrants close visual examination for corrosion or structural compromise, as sill condition on a panel van of this age directly affects structural integrity. Finally, check the nearside front seat belt webbing carefully, since fraying that was advisory in 2024 may have been repaired but the belt should still be inspected for correct retraction and locking under a sharp tug.
