PEUGEOT EXPERT2012 · 1.6L Diesel

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 26 January 2026 at 121,752 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record shows a consistent pattern of immediate failures followed by successful passes. The vehicle failed on 22 January 2026 and 05 February 2025, just days prior to the respective successful tests. This suggests the previous owner only addressed mechanical faults when strictly necessary to pass the legal test, rather than following a proactive preventative maintenance schedule. The mileage profile is consistent with a 14-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 8,700 miles per year. There is a significant surge in usage between February 2024 at 55,365 miles and February 2025 at 99,304 miles, where the vehicle covered over 44,000 miles in a single year. Since then, it has added another 22,000 miles in the last sixteen months. This high-intensity usage period indicates heavy-duty application, which typically accelerates the wear on drivetrain components, suspension bushings, and braking systems. While the MOT records show no current defects in the most recent pass, the recurring failures indicate that components are frequently on the edge of their legal limit. Given the age and mileage, a buyer must physically inspect the structural integrity for corrosion on the chassis and subframe, which is common in Experts of this era. You should also check for leaking shock absorbers, perished suspension arms, and excessive play in the steering, as the lack of advisories in the passing tests may mask minor issues that are ignored until they reach a failure threshold.
