This is the light-commercial Peugeot Partner (the commercial twin of the passenger Rifter) — most 2022 diesel Partners use Peugeot's 1.5 BlueHDi family paired with a 5- or 6-speed manual and have DPF and EGR systems that dislike lots of short, stop-start trips. Partner comes in different lengths (L1/L2) and payload specs, so check which length and gross payload the van you're viewing actually has — typical payloads fall in the ~700–1,000 kg band depending on spec. Also note commercial insurance in Ireland is handled separately from private car cover and can affect running costs.

• DPF / EGR condition: ask for evidence of recent long-run regenerations and check for warning lights or stored faults from short-trip use
• Clutch and gearbox: test for slip or hesitation under load and confirm positive gear selection (manuals on vans get heavy use)
• Rear suspension and springs: look for sagging or signs of overload, and check for any repaired rear-axle/spring work
• Cargo area and doors: inspect floor and wheel-arch corrosion, side-door rollers/runners and rear-door seals, plus integrity of any fixed racking or bulkhead
• Turbo/oil signs: look for smoke at start, oil leaks around turbo/intercooler pipes and check for unusual oil consumption
