Cheap Peugeot Partner Bulkhead

The Partner has run across two main generations in the UK: the first generation (B9 platform) ran from 1996 to 2008, and the second generation (B9 replacement, often called the Partner Tepee for the passenger version) ran from 2008 onwards, with a facelift around 2015. A bulkhead from the first generation will not interchange with the second generation, as the body structure is completely different. Always source a bulkhead from the same generation as your vehicle.

Both a 2013 and a 2016 Partner fall within the second-generation (2008-onwards) model, with the facelift occurring around 2015. The bulkhead may well be the same pressing across that facelift, but mid-generation panel changes are possible and you should confirm with the breaker using your exact registration before buying. Name the generation boundary confidently, but crossing it on a specific part is worth double-checking.

Yes, for the Partner van these details matter significantly – the bulkhead is a structural panel that ties into the body shell, so a long-wheelbase or high-roof variant can have a different pressing to the standard wheelbase or low-roof version. Always tell the breaker your wheelbase and roof height as well as your registration when requesting a quote. Getting this wrong means the panel simply won't align with your vehicle's bodywork.

The bulkhead itself sits between the cab and load area rather than at the rear, so rear door style – barn doors versus a tailgate – does not directly affect the bulkhead pressing. However, because body variants can differ in other structural ways, it is still worth mentioning your rear door configuration to the breaker when you request a quote, just to rule out any variant-specific differences.

Trim level – whether S, SE, Professional or any other Partner trim – does not affect bulkhead fitment; the panel is determined by generation, wheelbase, and roof height, not by how the van is equipped. You may find that the condition or any factory-fitted insulation or mounts differ cosmetically between trim levels on a used part, so inspect the breaker's item against your own. Confirm the key structural details with the breaker, but don't worry about matching trim badges.

The Partner and Berlingo share the same platform across their respective generations and are widely regarded as mechanical and structural twins, which suggests the bulkhead pressings could be interchangeable. However, whether a specific part from one badge swaps directly onto the other – particularly across same-platform variants sold under different names – is something you should confirm with the breaker against both registrations before purchasing. Don't assume interchangeability without that check.
