2009 Peugeot Expert HDI SWB 1.6L Diesel · SNZ 5651

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, maintaining a clean MOT record following a minor mechanical setback. The most recent test conducted in October 2024 at 112,643 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the vehicle currently meets all safety and environmental standards. Since the failure in mid-2022, the Peugeot has passed two consecutive tests without advisories, suggesting that previous owners have addressed necessary mechanical requirements as they arise. The mileage pattern is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,600 miles per year. The recorded total of 112,643 miles over 17 years suggests low-intensity use, which often preserves heavy-duty drivetrain and engine components, though the low mileage can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and dry-rott seals. A notable gap exists between June 2021 and June 2022, where the vehicle covered over 12,000 miles in just fourteen months, followed by a more consistent usage of roughly 7,000 miles annually thereafter. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and mounting points, as older Expert models are prone to corrosion in the sills and floor pans. While the history lacks recurring advisories, the failure in June 2022 at 102,030 miles warrants a check of the suspension bushes and brake lines. Given the vehicle's age, verify the brake fluid for moisture and check for perished hoses or leaks which may manifest despite the relatively low annual mileage.
