Every Peugeot 206 model year
Pass rates fall as cars age, so the only fair comparison for a 2000 car is other cars of the same age. The full run for the Peugeot 206:

|---|---|---|---|
| 1999 | 57% | 514 | 78,459 |

What this means if you are buying a 2000 206
The 2000 is a weaker year for this model, passing 4.9 points less often than the Peugeot 206 average. Some of that is simply age, so compare it against the 2000 figure for all cars above rather than against newer examples. Check the exact car with the free MOT history checker before you buy, and run its VIN and mileage through our free VIN decoder and clocking check.
What a 26-year-old car fails on
A 2000 car is 26 years old now, and age drives the failure mix more than the badge does. Across all cars tested, these are the categories that actually cause failures:
- Lights and electrical: 10.36% of all cars tested
- Suspension: 8.65% of all cars tested
- Tyres: 6.23% of all cars tested
- Brakes: 6.1% of all cars tested
- Visibility: wipers, washers, glass: 4.65% of all cars tested
- Body, chassis and structure: 3.18% of all cars tested
That is a shade above the middle of the range, still ordinary wear rather than a red flag, but worth checking against the service book for the car's age. On a 2000 Peugeot 206 the average at test was 79,147 miles, so treat anything far above that as a car that has worked harder than its peers, and anything far below as one worth checking for the faults that come from standing still.
The strongest year for this model is 2007 at 65.5%, and the weakest in our data is 2000 at 56.4%. That 9.1 point spread across the model's life is why comparing a 2000 car against a newer one tells you very little.
