2021 Peugeot Partner

CarHunch analysed 7,449 real MOT records for the 2021 Peugeot Partner. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

The 2021 Peugeot Partner passes its MOT first time at 82.6%, marginally above the UK average of 80%, suggesting solid baseline reliability for a commercial-focused vehicle. The dangerous defect rate of 12.4% is comfortably below the concern threshold, so structural and safety issues aren't a red flag here.

At 52,737 miles median, these are relatively low-mileage vehicles for their age, which explains why the average of 0.61 failures per test is lean. The 2.3 advisories per vehicle tells you wear items like brakes and wipers are creeping in, but nothing systemic—when you're buying one, get an independent inspection to check brake condition and suspension, as these tend to show up across the cohort.

What to check before buying a 2021 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.
  • 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
