Best and Worst Years
Of the years with at least 100 tests, the 2020 model has the highest pass rate at 87% from 16,327 tests. The 1999 model has the lowest at 65%. With a 22 point gap, the year you choose makes a real difference. Newer cars usually pass more often simply because they are younger.
Reliability Trend
Newer Peugeot Partners pass their MOT more often than older ones, by 10 percentage points on average, which is mostly down to age and wear.
Mileage Across Years
The oldest model in our data (1997) averages 167,014 miles, while the newest (2021) averages 50,286 miles. Older models have covered serious mileage, so suspension and drivetrain wear are worth checking.
Compared to the Peugeot brand average of 83%, the Partner is 9 points lower, placing it among the less reliable Peugeot models.
