2013 Peugeot Expert 2.0L Diesel · SF13 ACV

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, though the record reflects a period of intermittent testing. The most recent test on 29 September 2022 at 350,958 miles passed without recorded defects, indicating the vehicle met minimum legal standards at that specific moment. However, the failure just one day prior at 350,946 miles suggests a minor defect was rectified immediately to secure the pass. The maintenance trend appears stable but reactive, given the extreme usage placed on the vehicle. The mileage profile is exceptionally high for a 13-year-old van, averaging approximately 27,000 miles per annum. Between July 2021 at 306,241 miles and September 2022 at 350,958 miles, the vehicle covered 44,717 miles in just 14 months. This rapid rate of accumulation suggests heavy commercial or long-distance motorway use, which puts significant strain on the drivetrain, suspension components, and braking system. The lack of MOT data since late September 2022 means the vehicle is now nearly four years overdue for its test, representing a significant risk regarding the current mechanical state and legal compliance. A buyer must prioritise a thorough physical inspection of the high-wear components typical of vehicles exceeding 350,000 miles. Focus on the suspension control arm bushes, shock absorbers, and coil springs for signs of fatigue or premature failure. The braking system should be checked for thinned discs and seized calipers, as the high mileage often leads to hardware degradation. Given the long gap in testing history, a detailed examination of the chassis for structural corrosion and mounting point integrity is essential to ensure the frame has not been compromised during the recent years of heavy use.
