Peugeot Expert rear door closing problem

I have a Peugeot Expert L2H2 (2015) and am having an issue with the rear offside door. Apologies, I'm not sure what its called, but the catch/hinge thing is hitting the front internal face of the back pillar meaning in order to close the door I have to give it a shove.

Please watch the video I've uploaded to youtube to demonstrate the issue better than I can explain it.

Any advice would be massively helpful as this is a right pain in the bum!

Was near 100% certain, that spring on a door was efficient enough to clear natural curve for it to be "catchy" , so the door wouldn't open completely in a traffic etc.
If anything, i'd try to see if all there is not bent and moving freely, grease some pivoting friction points of the spring....

Seems like the issue was just friction between the end of the catch and the rubber sheath that surrounds it on the inside of the pillar. I put some grease on the end bit that makes contact, and hey presto, worked like a charm. Thanks AlvyLad for the idea!
