Electric Peugeot Partner: MOT pass rate
89.1% of electric Peugeot Partners pass the MOT first time, measured across 541 DVSA tests on that fuel type alone. Average mileage at test was 22,985.
Electric against the other Peugeot Partner versions
| Fuel | Pass rate | Tests |
|---|---|---|
| Diesel | 71.5% | 144,250 |
| Petrol | 81.3% | 5,525 |
| Electric | 89.1% | 541 |
| All Peugeot Partner | 72% | 150,344 |
Why the fuel type changes the number
No exhaust, no emissions test and far fewer moving parts, which is why EVs post the highest pass rates of any fuel type. Tyres and suspension take the load instead, since they are heavier.
On the Peugeot Partner specifically, electric is the strongest at 89.1%, and this electric version sits 17.1 points above the 72% model average.
What it means if you are buying one
The electric Peugeot Partner is the stronger side of this model on MOT data. Still judge the individual car, but the fuel type is a mild point in its favour. Buying a damaged one? run it through the analyzer, check the exact car, decode the VIN and check the mileage before you bid.
Mileage is part of the answer
The average electric Peugeot Partner had covered 22,985 miles at test, against 98,504 for the diesel and 62,199 for the petrol. That is low mileage, which usually means light urban use. Short journeys are harder on batteries, brakes and exhausts than motorway miles, so do not assume low miles means low wear.
Fuel type and mileage are tangled together: diesels are usually bought by higher-mileage drivers, so some of any gap between fuels is the miles rather than the engine. The per-year figures on the Peugeot Partner page separate age from fuel if you want to isolate one.
