2009 Peugeot Partner 850 S HDI 90
CarHunch analysed 254 real MOT records for the 2009 Peugeot Partner 850 S HDI 90. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This 2009 Peugeot Partner has a first-time MOT pass rate of just 46.6%, nearly 34 percentage points below the UK average of 80%—a significant red flag for reliability. The good news is that dangerous defects are virtually non-existent at 0%, so safety isn't the concern; rather, these vans are simply prone to mechanical failures across the board.
At 152,800 miles median, these vehicles are well-used workhorses, yet they're still racking up 0.74 failures per test on average, suggesting age-related wear compounds the model's inherent issues. If you're considering one, budget for repairs before purchase and have a pre-buy inspection by a diesel specialist, as nearly all examples are HDi diesels that can be costly to fix when they do go wrong.
What to check before buying a 2009 Peugeot Partner 850 S HDI 90
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.
