Peugeot Partner K9
The third-generation Peugeot Partner (K9) has been built since 2018 on the PSA EMP2 platform, offered as a panel van and passenger van in standard and XL lengths. Petrol engines are the turbocharged 1.2 PureTech (EB2DT) and the naturally aspirated 1.6 VTi (EC5). The diesel is the 1.5 BlueHDi (DV5RC). A fully electric e-Partner joined the range from 2021, with a 100 kW motor, 50-52 kWh battery and 330 km WLTP range.
On the PureTech 110, this is the same wet-belt EB2DT engine documented elsewhere in this contour, and commercial-use vans typically accumulate mileage faster than private cars — which makes documented proof of belt condition even more important here than on a passenger car. Cross-check any belt service record against the van's actual logged mileage. On the electric e-Partner, apply the same battery state-of-health check documented for other electric models in this contour.
To judge a specific Partner K9, confirm whether it is a standard or XL-length van and request its actual usage log, since a commercial vehicle's history matters more than a private car's. Get a full fault-code read across all control units and keep the printout.

Pre-purchase checklist
- ☐This engine family (DV5RC, 1.5 BlueHDi) was the subject of an official Stellantis recall (campaign MXL for Peugeot, NY5 for Citroen/DS) covering vehicles built 2017-early 2023, for a 7mm camshaft timing chain that can weaken or fail; check by VIN whether campaign MXL/NY5 applies to this specific car and ask for documented proof the recall work (reinforced 8mm chain, fitted on new production from February 2023) has been completed rather than relying on the absence of a warning light
