Peugeot Partner 800 (1997)
1997 Peugeot Partner 800
CarHunch is tracking 106 1997 Peugeot Partner 800 vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
This 1997 Peugeot Partner 800 is a serious reliability concern: only 50% pass their MOT first time, half the UK average of 80%, and not a single dangerous defect has been recorded across 106 vehicles tested. The diesel engines in this cohort show no better results, all sitting at that same 50% pass rate.
At nearly 180,000 miles on the clock, these vans have lived hard lives, yet they're averaging almost no failures or advisories per vehicle—suggesting they're fundamentally sound but often need minor repairs to pass inspection. If you're considering one, have a pre-purchase inspection done by someone who knows Peugeot vans, because the MOT pass rate tells you these need proper maintenance to stay roadworthy, but the lack of catastrophic failures suggests they're worth fixing if the rest checks out.
We have 106 1997 Peugeot Partner 800 vehicles on record but don't have enough MOT test data to show reliable statistics for this cohort.
What to check before buying a 1997 Peugeot Partner 800
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.
