2015 Peugeot Partner 1.6L Diesel · SH15 YVU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a clear degradation in suspension and braking components. While the most recent test in October 2025 at 63,552 miles passed, the vehicle initially failed due to lighting faults that were immediately rectified. Following these minor repairs, the tester identified play in the offside front track rod end and a worn lower suspension arm bush. These mechanical issues indicate that the front end geometry is reaching the end of its functional life despite the relatively low overall mileage. At eleven years old, the recorded mileage of 63,552 miles represents an average usage of approximately 5,777 miles per year, which is significantly below the national average for commercial vans. The data shows a consistent usage pattern with roughly 8,000 miles covered between November 2024 and October 2025. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, long periods of stationary use often lead to the degradation of rubber components and seizing of braking hardware, which aligns with the recurring suspension faults noted in the later MOT records. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension to ensure the track rod ends and lower arm bushes have been replaced rather than merely adjusted. The 2024 advisory regarding imbalanced brakes at 55,869 miles, followed by the report of worn front discs in 2025, suggests the braking system is suffering from uneven wear or sticking calipers or lack of preventative maintenance. The buyer should also verify the condition of the McPherson strut mounting previously flagged in 2024 to ensure no structural fatigue or excessive play remains in the steering assembly.
