Our Verdict

When evaluating this Peugeot Partner, check the physical condition of the tyres, as rear tyres were noted as worn close to the legal limit or on the edge in both 2025 and 2026. Inspect the suspension components, particularly noting the nearside front upper shock absorber bush flagged in the latest April 2026 test and the anti-roll bar linkage dust cover failure from 2024.
Review the electrical system for recurring issues, specifically the registration plate lamp failures recorded in 2024 and 2026. Given the recorded mileage of 140,761 miles against an average model baseline of 9,109 miles per year, examine the service record to confirm how regular maintenance tasks have been handled over its lifetime.
Equipped with a 1560cc diesel engine, this vehicle sits in a standard insurance group for compact vans and should return competitive fuel economy for business or utility use. Road tax band and maintenance costs will align with typical light commercial vehicles of this era.
Annual running costs will depend heavily on preventative maintenance. Given the frequent tyre and lighting advisories, budget for regular consumable replacements alongside standard servicing to keep the 1.6-litre diesel engine running efficiently.
Pay close attention to the suspension and steering components. The April 2026 MOT noted a slightly worn bush on the nearside front upper shock absorber, while the August 2024 test included a failure for a split anti-roll bar linkage dust cover. Check both areas for play or degradation.
Inspect the lighting circuits for intermittent faults, as registration plate lamps failed in 2024 and 2025/2026 tests. Examine the windscreen for stone chips or cracking, which has been cited as damaged across multiple inspection records, and check the condition of the roof bars following their loose mounting advisory in 2024.
First registered in March 2012, this white diesel utility vehicle has covered 140,761 miles as of its April 2026 test. The MOT history records one failure in August 2024 for an anti-roll bar linkage dust cover alongside passes featuring recurring advisories for tyre wear, registration plate lamps, and windscreen damage.
The Peugeot Partner has a national average MOT pass rate of 76.2%, with common failure items tending to involve headlamps, coil springs, and exhaust components.
