Our Verdict
Proceed with caution if you are looking for a reliable workhorse. While the mileage is reasonable for the age, the history of recurring suspension issues and multiple MOT failures suggests a period of reactive maintenance.
When inspecting this vehicle, prioritize a check of the exhaust system and suspension. Given the multiple MOT failures for insecure exhaust systems and corroded mounts, ensure the entire exhaust length is free of heavy corrosion or structural leaks. Also pay close attention to the anti-roll bar linkage ball joints, which have been flagged for having play across several MOT tests.
Ask for a full service history to confirm if the 1.8cc diesel engine has had its timing belt replaced, as this is critical at this mileage and age. Check for signs of rust on the sills and wheel arches, which are common weaknesses for this generation of Partner. Ensure all exterior lighting is functional, as the vehicle has a history of stop lamp and indicator failures.
The 1.8-litre diesel engine is known for efficiency, though you can expect around 35-40 MPG depending on load and condition. As an older diesel, it likely falls into a lower insurance group and tax band, making it relatively inexpensive to run daily.
Maintenance costs are generally low as parts for this model are widely available and affordable. However, budget for regular replacements of consumables. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and basic maintenance, typically fall between £1,100-£1,400.
Focus heavily on the front suspension; the MOT history shows recurring issues with anti-roll bar linkage ball joints and front brake discs that are pitted or scored. Take a test drive and listen for knocks or knocks over uneven surfaces, which would indicate worn suspension components noted in the 2022 and 2021 tests.
Inspect the underbody and exhaust system thoroughly. The vehicle has failed previously for 'insecure' and 'corroded' exhaust components, so check for rust at the mounting points. Additionally, check the tyres for cracking or perishing, as the 2022 advisory specifically noted surface damage on the offside rear tyre.
This 2001 Peugeot Partner features a 1.8L diesel engine and sits at approximately 100,000 miles, which is relatively low for a 25-year-old vehicle. The MOT history shows a pattern of failures related to lighting, exhaust, and suspension components. While it has passed its most recent test, the frequency of advisories indicates the vehicle requires consistent attention to remain roadworthy.
The 1.9 HDI diesel engines in this era are generally robust if maintained, but auxiliary components like sensors mounts tend to age.
