Peugeot Partner 600 LX Diesel (2002)
2002 Peugeot Partner 600 LX Diesel
CarHunch analysed 224 real MOT records for the 2002 Peugeot Partner 600 LX Diesel. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This 2002 Peugeot Partner diesel is a genuine reliability concern: only 4.6% pass first time, compared to the 80% UK average. At 22 years old, these vans are running on borrowed time, and the median mileage of 140,346 suggests most examples have endured proper work use over their lifetime. The silver lining is that failures tend to be minor and fixable—just 0.05 failures per vehicle on average and zero dangerous defects recorded—but the abysmal pass rate means you should budget for repair work before or immediately after purchase. If you're considering one, factor in £500–£1,000 for remedial work and have a pre-purchase inspection by a diesel specialist, not a generalist mechanic.
What to check before buying a 2002 Peugeot Partner 600 LX Diesel
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.
