1999 PEUGEOT EXPERT1.9L DIESEL

The roadworthiness of this Peugeot Expert is unverified due to a complete lack of data since 2016. The last recorded test in April 2016 at 165,038 miles showed a vehicle that initially failed due to critical safety defects, including an offside front wheel bearing with excessive play and tyres with exposed cords. While the vehicle passed the following day after repairs, the absence of any MOT records for the subsequent decade makes it impossible to determine the current mechanical state or if the previously identified faults have been rectified. The vehicle shows a recorded mileage of 165,038 miles over approximately 27 years, representing an average of roughly 6,113 miles per year. Between April 2013 and April 2016, the van covered approximately 6,834 miles, indicating consistent low-intensity usage. However, the ten-year gap in testing following the 2016 entry suggests the vehicle has either been stationary for long periods or operated without legal inspections, which presents significant risks regarding component degradation, corrosion, and fluid breakdown regardless of the low mileage. A buyer must conduct a rigorous physical inspection of the chassis and drivetrain components, as the history highlights recurring issues with the steering rack inner joints and oil leaks. The persistent exhaust leak noted in every test from 2014 to 2016 indicates a long-term exhaust system weakness that may not have been fully addressed. Given the age of the vehicle and the previous failure of wheel bearings, specific attention is required for the structural integrity of the mounting points, the condition of the suspension bushes, and the state of the braking system to ensure no significant corrosion has occurred during the period of undocumented use.
