2015 Peugeot Partner 1.6L Diesel · SH15 YVM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent test on September 3, 2025 at 140,158 miles resulted in a pass following a failure on the same day. While the owner addressed the inoperative registration plate lamp, the persistent presence of a severely deteriorated offside front drive shaft boot and a deformed nearside sill indicates that faults are only rectified once they reach a legal failure threshold. At 140,158 miles over 11 years, this Peugeot has averaged approximately 12,700 miles per year, which sits above the national average for light commercial vehicles. The record shows consistent usage, with a 10,800-mile gap between June 2023 and August 2024, and another 12,000 miles covered in the final year. This mileage places significant stress on the drivetrain and braking system, as evidenced by the wear on both rear brake discs noted during the August 2024 inspection. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the nearside sill to evaluate the deformation flagged in 2025. Although the tester noted structural rigidity was not significantly reduced, such damage in older vans often precedes accelerated corrosion or perforation if not monitored. The offside front drive shaft boot should be inspected for grease leakage, as a failure of this component will quickly lead to catastrophic CV joint damage. Additionally, the recorded oil leak from the September 2025 test requires a close look to determine if it originates from a minor seal or a more significant engine component failure.
