PEUGEOT EXPERT1997 · 1.9L DIESEL

The most critical factor here is the age of the MOT history, as the last test was conducted in December 2007. This means the vehicle has not undergone a safety inspection for nearly 19 years, rendering the historical data very limited for assessing current roadworthiness. Looking back at the recorded failed tests, there is a clear pattern of front-end mechanical wear. In late 2006, the van failed due to excessive play in a ball joint and uneven rear brakes, alongside excessive engine oil leaks. While the brake and oil issues were addressed by the 2007 test, the vehicle later failed again for lighting defects and a tyre worn close to the legal limit. The final pass in 2007 highlighted specific advisories that suggest the steering and suspension were already under stress. The tester recorded slight play in the offside rack end ball joint and again noted the front tyre wear. These defects indicate that consumable parts were deteriorating nearly two decades ago. Regarding the mileage, the vehicle shows 128,003 miles, which averages out to low annual usage. However, the history shows a significant jump in mileage during its final year on the road.
