How ULEZ rules apply to the Partner
Cars that miss the standard pay £12.50 for each day they're driven in the zone. Petrol and petrol-hybrid cars need Euro 4 (most from 2006), while diesels need Euro 6 (most from September 2015).
- Diesel (96% of Partners tested): likely compliant from 2016; 2013 and earlier are likely to be charged.
- Petrol (4% of Partners tested): likely compliant from 2006; 2000 and earlier are likely to be charged.
Partners from 2014 and 2015 sit on the boundary (19% of those tested): some were built to the required standard before it became compulsory. The Euro standard is sometimes on the V5C logbook, or Peugeot can confirm it. Our ULEZ calculator can help.

Buying a used Peugeot Partner for London: what the MOT data shows
The Peugeot Partners in this data were first registered between 1998 and 2021. 2018 was the most common year, with 14,891 tests (10% of the total), and half were registered in 2015 or later.
Partners from likely-compliant years passed their MOT first time 68% of the time, at an average of 69,048 miles. Older ones likely to be charged passed 55% of the time with 116,984 miles on average, so a compliant car is usually the more reliable buy as well as the cheaper one to drive in London.
On a budget, the oldest diesel Partners likely to comply are from 2016. 13,584 of them were tested; 2016 cars passed first time 63% of the time and averaged 82,853 miles. Check the Euro standard on the V5C before you buy one from around then.
Whichever year you choose, check the Partner's weak spots. The most common MOT failures were lights and electrics: "not working" (14.0% of tests); body and structure: "constant velocity boot split or insecure, no longer prevents the ingress of dirt" (4.8%); suspension: "fractured or broken" (4.3%). The most frequent advisory was "tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm", on 18.0% of tests.
Overall, 62% of Partners passed first time, well below the 71% average for all cars, and they had covered 90,995 miles on average, more than the 73,145-mile average.
