Our Verdict
Proceed with extreme caution. This vehic
Given the recent failure for emissions and a major exhaust leak, any potential buyer should ensure the exhaust system and emissions-related components are fully repaired and verified before purchase. The history shows repeated issues with brake discs, hoses, and suspension parts (such as Macpherson struts and ball joints), which suggests that maintenance may have been reactive rather than preventative.
Negotiate the price downwards to account for the high mileage and the immediate repairs required to pass the most recent MOT. Always request a detailed service history to see if the recurring brake and suspension issues have been addressed systematically, and check if the ABS fault noted in 2025 has been resolved.
As a 1.6L diesel, running costs will be influenced by fuel economy and the potential for high maintenance costs due to the vehicle's age and mileage. Tax and insurance groups for this model are typically moderate, but the high mileage may affect resale value.
Expect higher-than-average maintenance costs in the short term to address the recent MOT failures. Annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and typical maintenance, are estimated to be around £1,400-£1,800, though this could rise significantly if major components like the exhaust or emissions system require expensive replacement.
A thorough inspection of the exhaust system is mandatory, specifically looking for the major leak identified in the June 2026 test. You must also verify that the emissions system is functioning correctly, as the vehicle was unable to complete the test.
Inspect the braking system extensively; the history shows a consistent pattern of worn or pitted discs and corroded brake hoses across both front and rear axles. Additionally, check the suspension components, specifically the Macpherson struts and ball joints, as these have appeared as frequent advisory and failure items in previous years. Finally, check the ABS system to ensure the fault reported in 2025 is no longer present.
This 2013 grey Peugeot Partner has covered 159,524 miles, which is significantly higher than the model average. The MOT history shows a pattern of recurring issues, particularly regarding braking components, suspension, and exhaust systems. The most recent test in June 2026 resulted in a failure due to a major exhaust leak and an inability to complete emissions testing.
The Peugeot Partner shows an average MOT pass rate of 76.2% across the sample, with common failure points including headlamps, coil springs, and exhausts.
