This 2017 Partner is a below-average performer at the MOT, with a 64.4% first-time pass rate that trails the UK average of 80% by a significant margin—meaning roughly one in three fail their test. The good news is that dangerous defects are rare (0%), so safety concerns aren't the primary issue here.

At 90,500 miles median, these vans have typical mileage for their age, yet they're still generating an average of 0.28 failures per vehicle, suggesting recurring maintenance problems rather than age-related wear catching up all at once. Before buying, get a pre-purchase inspection focusing on the specific failure patterns (fluid leaks, brake wear, and emissions systems are common on this generation), and budget for remedial work—this van needs closer attention than most.

The 2017 Peugeot Partner Profession L1 Blue HDI passes its MOT first time more often than most UK vehicles (91.6% vs ~80% average) — and when it does fail, it's usually something minor and cheap to fix.
