Honestly? They were notorious for it, ditto the 205. In fact one of my old 205 doors just refused to open no matter what I tried, then one day (when I'd actually forgot it didn't open) I tried it and it worked. I WD40'd everything in sight and greased things up etc, but it still only opened occasionally. It's a Peugeot, I think they were made like this!

Problem is that all doors must open from inside and out for the mot.. I would imagine its the actual door catch assembly needs replacing. The difficulty lies with getting the door open. Try lightly thumping the door where the latch is while locking and unlocking the door, trying to open it each time. Works for xsara's and picassos when they jam locked so it's a definite worth a go. |

Usually the pivot on the rear of the exterior handle is seized, holding the lever up and preventing the mechanism from working.
Pop the doorcard off and get liberal with the lube, give the lever a good working (wiggling the handle wont do much)
No manner of thumping swearing etc will help, though may assist in dispersion of frustration before you carry out an easy fix.
Rare that i have found the latch itself at fault on these.
