2009 Peugeot Partner

CarHunch analysed 6,966 real MOT records for the 2009 Peugeot Partner. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

The 2009 Peugeot Partner struggles with reliability compared to the UK average, posting a first-time pass rate of 71.7% against the national benchmark of 80%. A significant concern is that 44% of these vehicles have recorded dangerous defects during their MOT history—far above acceptable levels—making thorough pre-purchase inspection essential for any buyer.

These Partners are averaging around 92,800 miles at test, which is reasonable for their age, but they're racking up 4.6 failures per vehicle and 20.5 advisories, indicating persistent mechanical wear. Before committing to one, have a trusted mechanic inspect the braking system, suspension and steering components particularly closely, as these are the areas where dangerous defects cluster on this model.

What to check before buying a 2009 Peugeot Partner

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.
  • ⚠️ 44% of these vehicles have had a dangerous defect recorded. Enter the reg below — the full MOT history will show exactly what was flagged and whether it was resolved.
  • 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
