Used Peugeot Partner/Rifter Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle (WAV):

The Peugeot Partner and its successor, the Peugeot Rifter, are among the most popular compact wheelchair accessible vehicles (WAVs) I sell. They offer a practical combination of space, comfort and reliability, making them a popular choice for many wheelchair users and their families.

Wheelchair Accessible Features

Used Peugeot Partner/Rifter WAVs typically include:

  • A lowered floor in the rear to create wheelchair headroom
  • A manual, lightweight ramp for wheelchair access
  • Secure wheelchair tie-down points and a restraint system
  • Seating for the driver, front passenger, and additional rear passengers alongside the wheelchair user

Exact specification, mileage, and conversion details vary between individual vehicles, so it’s always worth checking the listing for the specific Partner or Rifter WAV you’re interested in, or giving me a call to talk through what’s currently in stock.

Why Buy a Used WAV Rather Than New

New WAVs are expensive because of the specialist conversion work involved, and like any new vehicle they lose a significant chunk of value in the first few years. Buying used means someone else has already absorbed that depreciation — you get the same accessibility features for a lot less money, and your own investment holds its value better if you come to sell later on.

Buying used also means you avoid the long lead times that can come with ordering a new WAV.

I offer part exchange on your existing vehicle, and outright/cash purchase — I don’t offer finance, so what you see is a straightforward cash or part-exchange transaction. Every WAV I sell comes with a warranty that I underwrite myself, rather than a third-party scheme, so if something needs sorting after you’ve bought the car, you’re dealing directly with me.

Why the Peugeot Partner and Rifter Are So Popular

The Peugeot Partner and Peugeot Rifter are among the wheelchair accessible vehicles I sell most often, and over the years I’ve helped many customers choose them because they offer an excellent balance of practicality, comfort and low running costs. They’re a great all-round choice for many people, but the right WAV always depends on your individual requirements, the size of your wheelchair and how you plan to use the vehicle. That’s why I’m always happy to talk through the different options and help you choose the vehicle that’s best suited to your needs.
