Peugeot Partner 625 SE L1 HDI (2012)
2012 Peugeot Partner 625 SE L1 HDI
CarHunch analysed 147 real MOT records for the 2012 Peugeot Partner 625 SE L1 HDI. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This 2012 Peugeot Partner diesel van is notably less reliable than the UK average, with a first-time pass rate of just 70.3% against the national benchmark of 80%—meaning roughly one in three of these vans fail their MOT. The absence of dangerous defects on record is reassuring, but the 0.67 average failures per vehicle suggest recurring issues that buyers should investigate carefully.
These vans have covered a typical 124,500 miles for their age, so mileage isn't masking hidden problems; the poor pass rate reflects genuine mechanical wear. Before buying, ask the seller for full MOT history to identify which components fail repeatedly—the virtually zero advisory count suggests inspectors are flagging definite faults rather than borderline concerns.
What to check before buying a 2012 Peugeot Partner 625 SE L1 HDI
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
