Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the mileage
Pay close attention to the suspension and steering components. The nearside front suspension arm ball joint has been noted as having play or being worn in the MOT records for 2024, 2025, and 2026, suggesting a recurring point of wear. Request evidence of the repairs carried out to resolve the May 2026 failures, specifically the exhaust rear box and steering rack gaiter.
Ensure you review the service history for timing belt and water pump replacements, as these are critical maintenance items for the 1.6L diesel engine. Given the vehicle's age and the frequency of MOT failures over the last three years, use these data points to negotiate a fair price.
The 1.6L diesel engine is designed for efficiency, though fuel economy will vary based on load. As a 2008 model, it will fall into a tax bracket based on its original CO2 emissions, and insurance groups for the Partner are generally moderate for small commercial vehicles.
Maintenance costs may be higher than average for this age of vehicle, given the recorded history of suspension wear and exhaust system degradation. Budget for regular consumables and potential future suspension work.
Perform a thorough inspection of the nearside front suspension and steering rack, as the MOT history shows repeated issues with the ball joint and a missing gaiter in 2026. Check the rear axle swivel pins and bushes, which were flagged as worn and emitting corrosion dust in May 2025.
Inspect the exhaust system, specifically the rear box, to ensure the leak identified in May 2026 was properly repaired rather than patched. Finally, check the tyre condition across all four corners, as the 2024 MOT highlighted multiple tyres that were damaged, perishing, or worn close to the legal limit.
This 2008 white Peugeot Partner 1.6L diesel has recorded 83,394 miles as of May 2026. The vehicle has a history of MOT failures, including issues with exhaust emissions in 2025 and a major exhaust leak and steering rack gaiter failure in 2026. It passed its most recent test in May 2026 after addressing these faults.
