2015 Peugeot Partner 1.6L Diesel · SF65 CSV

A modest pattern of wear‑related advisories and intermittent lighting faults defines this 2015 Peugeot Partner’s MOT history, with the most recent test on 25 August 2026 recording a pass but flagging a defective rear‑exhaust mounting. Earlier years show a handful of failures – off‑side windscreen wiper inefficiency in 2025, near‑side headlamp dip‑beam loss and stop‑lamp failure in 2024 and 2022 respectively – alongside an advisory on the off‑side front tyre tread approaching the legal limit. Apart from these isolated issues the vehicle has otherwise passed its annual checks, suggesting no progressive deterioration in core safety systems. At 73,894 miles the vehicle averages roughly 6,700 miles per year, a mileage rate that sits comfortably within normal usage for a light commercial van of this age. The MOT record shows no extended gaps between tests, indicating the vehicle has been regularly presented for inspection rather than sitting idle for long periods. This moderate annual accumulation points to a balanced wear profile: consumables such as tyres, brakes and suspension components are likely to be in line with typical service intervals, but the specific tyre advisory signals that the off‑side front tyre may have been subjected to higher lateral loads or alignment drift. Prospective buyers should give particular attention to the off‑side front tyre and the associated suspension elements. Verify the current tread depth on that wheel – it should be well above the 1.6 mm legal minimum – and feel for any vibration or pulling when cruising at steady speed, which could indicate worn tyre shoulders, mis‑aligned camber or degraded suspension bushes. A visual inspection of the wheel rim for dents or corrosion and a brief test of the steering return after a cornering maneuver will help confirm the condition of the steering knuckles and tie‑rod ends. Since the advisory was issued in 2024, confirm that the tyre has been replaced or that the wear pattern has been corrected before committing. The lighting and rear‑exhaust concerns also merit direct verification. Operate the off‑side windscreen wiper to ensure full sweep and adequate clearance; a worn blade or faulty linkage will manifest as streaking or incomplete wiping. Test the near‑side headlamp on dipped beam and the near‑side stop lamp, confirming both illumination and correct operation of the corresponding switches and wiring. Finally, listen for any rattling or loose vibration from the rear‑exhaust assembly while the engine is idling and under light acceleration; a defective mounting can lead to exhaust leaks, increased cabin noise and potential stress on the subframe. Addressing these items before purchase will provide a clearer picture of the vehicle’s immediate roadworthiness.
