Our Verdict
A sensible choice for those needing a fu
When inspecting this specific EJ62VPA registration, focus on the recent MOT failure from March 2026. Although the record shows no specific defect was listed for that failure, you should ask the seller exactly what required repair to ensure it wasn't a recurring issue.
Check the service history for oil changes, as the 1560cc diesel engine requires regular maintenance. Given the mileage is approaching the 100,000-mile mark, inspect the clutch and suspension components, as these are common wear items on commercial vehicles of this age.
As a 1.6L diesel, the Partner is designed for efficiency, though actual fuel economy will depend on load capacity and driving style. You should check the specific tax band for this 2012 model, as diesel rates can vary.
Maintenance costs for this model are typically moderate, but be aware that common failure points for this model type include headlamps, corrosion, and tyres. Budget for regular tyre replacements and potential brake work given the mileage.
Based on the aggregate data for this model, pay close attention to the condition of the headlamps and check the underbody for any signs of corrosion. Since tyres are a top failure reason for this model, ensure the tread depth is sufficient and there is no uneven wear.
Specifically for this vehicle, although the recent MOT passed with no defects, verify that the issue causing the failure on 2026-03-06 has been fully resolved and isn't likely to reappear in the next inspection.
This 2012 silver Peugeot Partner 1.6L diesel has covered 95,687 miles, which is slightly above the model average of 9,063 miles per year. The MOT history is largely clean, with passes recorded in 2023, 2024, and 2025. While a failure was recorded in March 2026 at 95,636 miles, it was rectified quickly to achieve a pass four days later.
The Peugeot Partner has an average MOT pass rate of 76.2% across the 173,163 vehicles analysed in our database.
