2013 Peugeot Expert 1.6L Diesel · SK63 RKV

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-11-06 recorded a pass, but a prior failure on 2025-11-04 revealed critical suspension and brake issues, including excessive wheel bearing play and worn suspension arm ball joints. These defects indicate a worsening maintenance trend, as similar faults were documented in earlier tests. The suspension components and brake system show recurring deficiencies, with no evidence of corrective action between 2023 and 2025. The vehicle is not currently roadworthy due to unresolved structural and mechanical risks. The mileage of 94,310 miles over 13 years aligns with average annual usage, but the MOT history reveals inconsistent servicing. A one-year gap between the 2024-11-18 pass and the 2025-11-04 failure suggests potential neglect. The 2024-11-15 failure highlighted worn brake pads and suspension play, which were not addressed before the 2025 test. While the 2023 MOT recorded minor issues, the escalation of suspension and brake faults in subsequent years points to deteriorating condition. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the suspension system for excessive play in ball joints and wheel bearings, as these pose immediate safety risks. Brake components, particularly the offside front pad thickness and binding calipers, require thorough examination. Corrosion on the exhaust system and undercarriage should be checked, as well as tyre wear patterns, which may indicate alignment or suspension misalignment. The repeated suspension defects suggest the need for a professional assessment of coil springs and bushings, while the brake issues demand urgent attention to prevent failure.
