Which year to buy? →
The 2016 Peugeot Partner's 78% first-time pass rate sits just below the UK average of 80%, which is unremarkable—but the 35.7% of vehicles that have ever had a dangerous defect is a significant concern for buyers, well above what you'd typically expect. Diesel models, which dominate this cohort, pass at 77.9%, while the rare petrol version achieves 82.5%, suggesting no meaningful fuel-type reliability advantage.
These Partners are averaging 72,534 miles, which is reasonable for 2016 models, yet they're accumulating 2.14 failures and 8.8 advisories per test, pointing to progressive wear and maintenance issues that compound over time. Before buying one, get a full diagnostic inspection focusing on the systems that fail most often—brake components, suspension, and emissions control are usually where these vans start to cost money—and factor in that nearly 1 in 3 will eventually throw up a dangerous defect.
The 2016 Peugeot Partner has a decent first-time pass rate (78%), but a higher-than-average share of vehicles have had serious defects recorded — the individual vehicle's history matters a lot here.
These stats describe 14,738 vehicles as a group. The specific vehicle you're looking at could be the one good example or the one outlier. Run its registration to find out.

Brake pipes, sills and subframes are the key areas on a vehicle this age — structural rust is hard to spot without getting underneath. A mechanic will check all of this before you commit, and give you a concrete basis to negotiate on price.
