If you own a Peugeot Partner from 2018 onwards, and you're experiencing issues with the van failing to start, you're undoubtedly looking for reliable solutions and explanations. As someone who has spent over 15 years in the mechanics field, specializing in various makes and models, including Peugeot, I aim to provide you with a comprehensive overview of this problem.
When your Peugeot Partner doesn't start, several factors could be at play. Common causes often range from the simple to more complex issues:
Battery Problems: A dead or weak battery is the most frequent culprit. Signs include dimmed headlights or slow cranking when you attempt to start the engine.
Starter Motor Issues: A faulty starter motor, which might emit a clicking sound without turning the engine over, is another common cause.
Fuel System Obstructions: If there's an issue with the fuel pump or the injectors, your van might crank but fail to start. This could be accompanied by a lack of engine noise during starting attempts.
Ignition System Failures: Problems with the spark plugs or ignition coil can prevent the engine from firing up.
Electronic or Sensor Failures: Modern vehicles like the Peugeot Partner are equipped with a variety of sensors and electronic systems. Failure in systems such as the immobilizer or a faulty sensor can lead to a non-starting condition.
The repair process typically begins with a series of diagnostic tests to identify the exact cause of the problem. This might include checking the battery, testing the starter motor, scanning for electronic system errors, and inspecting the fuel system. Once the root issue is pinpointed, the appropriate repairs or parts replacement can be carried out.
While dealing with a non-starting Peugeot Partner can be frustrating, sometimes the repair process can be lengthy and costly, especially if it involves complex electronic systems or hard-to-find parts. This raises an important question: might it be easier and more cost-effective to simply sell your van and perhaps upgrade to a newer, more reliable model?

It makes it tougher to sell to our network of 4000+ verified dealers, as we have to wait for the DVLA to process a V62 application (usually 6 weeks), so our valuations reflect the delay in sale and storage costs while rectifying missing V5 logbooks.
