2024 Peugeot Partner 1.5L Diesel · CF24 ECW

The 1.5-litre BlueHDi diesel in the Partner range typically returns 55-65 mpg under real-world conditions, which is one of its main selling points for high-mileage users. Road tax sits in a low VED band courtesy of Euro 6EA emissions compliance, though diesel commercial variants registered before April 2025 sit in the standard annual rate. Insurance is likely to be in group 10-15 depending on trim, and parts such as brake pads, tyres and diesel filters are relatively inexpensive due to shared PSA Group components. Servicing follows variable intervals but expect £200-£350 for a routine main dealer visit.

Estimated annual running cost is around £1,500-£2,200 assuming moderate mileage of 10,000 miles per year. This covers fuel at current diesel prices, road tax, insurance and routine maintenance. Add a contingency for AdBlue top-ups and the occasional diesel particulate filter issue, which can affect Euro 6 models of this age if used predominantly on short urban journeys.

With no MOT data to reference, physical inspection is critical. Begin with a cold-start check — modern diesels with DPF systems can develop issues if the vehicle has been used only for short trips, so look for warning lights on the dashboard, particularly the DPF and EML indicators. Inspect the underside (using a ramp or jack) for any oil leaks from the 1.5 BlueHDi engine, signs of corrosion on suspension components, and the condition of the exhaust system — the model aggregate data flags exhaust as a top three MOT failure reason for this generation, though this typically applies to older examples.

Check the clutch bite point; light commercial vehicles such as the Partner often suffer from worn clutches if used in stop-start traffic. Examine the rear load area for damage or heavy scuffs that suggest arduous use, and confirm the sliding side door and tailgate operate smoothly. Test all electrical features including air conditioning, which is a common failure point on Peugeot commercial vehicles. Finally, verify that the tyres are matching and have adequate tread depth (minimum 3mm for safety), as replacements on commercial-spec tyres can be a useful negotiation point.
