2016 Peugeot Expert 1.6L Diesel · KE65 AGZ

Tyre wear and brake‑pad wear dominate the MOT record, with repeated advisories for near‑side and off‑side rear tyres being close to the legal limit and front brake pads flagged as thin on several occasions; a broken rear exhaust mount was also recorded in 2022. Despite these recurring issues, the latest test on 23 October 2025 passed without any defects, indicating that the most recent inspection found the identified problems either remedied or within acceptable limits. At 95,096 mi the vehicle averages just under 10,000 mi per year, a mileage rate that sits comfortably within the typical range for a ten‑year‑old light commercial van. The MOT history shows regular annual testing with no prolonged gaps, suggesting the vehicle has been kept on the road consistently rather than sitting idle for extended periods. This steady usage pattern means wear on consumables such as tyres, brake pads and discs will be progressive rather than the result of sudden high‑stress episodes. A prospective buyer should give the tyres a thorough visual and tactile inspection: confirm that tread depth exceeds 1.6 mm uniformly across the tread face, look for sidewall cracks or bulges, and check that the wear pattern is even, which would indicate correct wheel alignment and suspension condition. Pay particular attention to the rear suspension bushes and any signs of corrosion around the mounting points, as the tyre‑wear advisories often correlate with alignment or suspension issues. Examine the brake system for pad thickness, disc surface condition and any scoring; a test‑drive should reveal a firm, progressive pedal without judder or pulsation, and the vehicle should come to a straight stop without pulling to one side. Finally, verify that all external lamps operate correctly, especially the near‑side front position lamp that has failed on two occasions, and listen for any abnormal exhaust noises that could hint at the previously broken rear exhaust mount being unrepaired. A quick visual check of the exhaust brackets and a brief idle rev test for rattles will help confirm the integrity of that system. Replacing the rear tyres soon is likely required given the repeated near‑limit advisories, and budgeting for front brake pad renewal in the near future would be prudent to maintain full roadworthiness.
