Peugeot Partner 600 LX D (2003)
2003 Peugeot Partner 600 LX D
CarHunch analysed 126 real MOT records for the 2003 Peugeot Partner 600 LX D. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This 2003 Peugeot Partner diesel is a serious reliability concern — just 20.5% pass on the first attempt, far below the UK average of 80%. None of the 126 vehicles analysed recorded dangerous defects, which is the one bright spot, but the median CarHunch score of 35 tells you these vans need work.
At 154,000 miles on average, these are genuinely tired machines with 0.28 failures per vehicle on test, suggesting wear across multiple systems rather than one glaring weak point. If you're considering one, budget for repairs and get a pre-purchase inspection from a diesel specialist — the first-time pass rate makes it clear these vans are well past their straightforward ownership phase.
What to check before buying a 2003 Peugeot Partner 600 LX D
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
