Our Verdict
Exercise caution before purchasing this
When inspecting this vehicle, prioritize a thorough check of the suspension system. The MOT history shows a persistent issue with the nearside front lower suspension arm bush, which has been flagged in multiple tests between 2025 and 2026. You should also check the condition of all anti-roll bar linkages and strut top mounts, as these have been identified as previous failure points.
Negotiate based on the high mileage and the frequency of tyre-related issues. The 2026 failure included multiple tyres worn to the legal limit and a cut reaching the cords, suggesting that tyre maintenance may not have been a priority. Ensure you request evidence of recent work to address the exhaust emissions failure recorded in March 2026, as this can be a costly repair if the diesel particulate filter or sensors are failing.
As a 1.6L diesel, this Peugeot Partner is designed for efficiency, but running costs will be influenced by its high annual mileage. Fuel economy should be reasonable for a small van, but the high mileage suggests it may have been used for heavy commercial work, which can impact MPG.
Tax and insurance groups for this model are typically moderate, but insurance costs may be higher if the vehicle is used for business. Maintenance costs should be budgeted for higher than average due to the recurring suspension and tyre issues seen in the MOT history. Estimated annual running costs are expected to be around £1,400-£1,700 depending on usage.
Focus heavily on the underside of the vehicle. The MOT records specifically highlight repeated issues with the nearside front lower suspension arm bush and strut top mounts. A technician should check for excessive movement in the suspension bushes and the integrity of the anti-roll bar linkages.
Additionally, inspect the tyres thoroughly. The vehicle has a history of tyres being worn close to the legal limit or having structural damage, such as cuts reaching the cords. Finally, check the exhaust system and emissions performance; the 2025 and 2026 tests both recorded failures related to exhaust emissions exceeding manufacturer limits.
This 2016 white Peugeot Partner has covered 129,198 miles, which is significantly higher than the model average of 9,109 miles per year. The MOT history reveals frequent failures, including issues with exhaust emissions, suspension components, and tyres. While it passed its most recent test in March 2026, the record shows consistent recurring advisories and failures over the last two years.
Aggregate data for this model shows a 76.2% MOT pass rate, with common failure points including headlamps, coil springs, and exhaust systems.
