Our Verdict
Proceed with extreme caution. While this 2001 Peugeot Partner is still in service, its high mileage and a history of significant structural corrosion make it a high-risk purchase.
Prioritise a thorough inspection of the vehicle's underside. The MOT history shows a major failure in 2019 due to structural corrosion in the outer sills and seat belt anchorage areas; you must verify the quality of the repairs made at that time. Check for current rust on the rear axle and sub-frame, which have been flagged as corroded in multiple tests (2020 and 2022).
Negotiate the price based on the immediate maintenance required. The most recent MOT (October 2024) lists several urgent advisories, including corroded rear brake pipes and a steering rack inner joint with play. These are safety-critical items that will likely lead to the next MOT failure if not addressed immediately. Request full service records to see if the oil leak mentioned in 2014, 2019, and 2024 has ever been properly repaired or simply topped up.
As an older 1868cc diesel, this vehicle offers reasonable fuel economy for its age, though it will not match modern Euro 6 engines. It likely falls into a higher tax bracket due to its age and emissions standards, and insurance should be relatively low given the vehicle's low market value.
Maintenance costs are expected to be high. The recurring failures of CV boots, track rod ends, and suspension bushes indicate that the chassis is tired. Expect to spend significantly on wear-and-tear components to keep the vehicle roadworthy, with an estimated annual spend reflecting the age and mileage of the chassis.
Focus heavily on the braking system and chassis. The MOT history repeatedly flags corroded brake pipes (2019, 2020, 2024) and a stiff brake load sensing valve. Ensure the brake pipes are not just covered in grease to hide rust, as noted in the 2024 advisory.
Inspect the front suspension and steering. The vehicle has a history of worn suspension arm pins, Macpherson strut bushes, and play in the steering rack (noted in 2014, 2022, and 2024). Check for any knocking sounds when turning the wheel or driving over bumps. Finally, inspect the windscreen for the damage noted in the 2024 test and check the condition of the CV boots, which caused a major failure in October 2024.
This white 1.9L diesel Partner has covered over 201,000 miles, reflecting a life of heavy use. The MOT history reveals a pattern of recurring issues, most notably structural corrosion on the sills and sub-frame, alongside persistent suspension and brake pipe wear. While it recently passed its MOT in October 2024, the volume of advisories suggests a vehicle that is being maintained to a minimum legal standard rather than being fully refurbished.
Specific aggregate data is unavailable, but this individual vehicle shows a pattern of typical high-mileage commercial wear, specifically regarding suspension and corrosion.
