2022 Peugeot Expert Professional L1 EV Electric · AF72 YCB

The most recent MOT, carried out on 2 December 2025, was passed with no recorded defects or advisories. With only a single MOT entry available, the vehicle demonstrates a clean compliance record at the latest test, suggesting that, to date, it has been maintained to a standard that satisfies the statutory safety and emissions requirements. In the absence of earlier failures, the trend can be regarded as stable, with no evidence of deteriorating condition from the MOT perspective. The recorded mileage of 6,170 miles on a 2022 model equates to roughly 1,540 miles per annum, which is markedly below the typical usage pattern for a light commercial vehicle of this class. Such low utilisation often indicates that the Expert has spent considerable periods idle, either as a secondary vehicle or in storage. While reduced wear on drivetrain components, brakes and suspension is a benefit, prolonged standing can accelerate age‑related degradation of rubber and polymer parts, promote corrosion on metal surfaces, and lead to electrolyte loss in the 12 V auxiliary battery and the high‑voltage EV battery cooling system. For a prospective buyer, the first visual inspection should focus on the tyre condition despite the low tread wear. Examine the sidewalls for cracking, hardening or perishing, as tyre rubber can deteriorate with age even when scarcely used. Verify that the tread depth meets the legal minimum and that the tyre pressure retention is satisfactory. Inspect the 12 V battery terminals and assess the state of charge of the high‑voltage traction battery; request a recent battery health report from the dealer or a qualified EV service centre, as capacity can decline if the vehicle has been left uncharged for extended periods. Check the coolant reservoir and hoses for any signs of leakage or hardening, and confirm that the EV thermal management system has been serviced according to the manufacturer’s calendar schedule. Finally, examine the brake discs and pads for surface rust or uneven wear, which can develop when the vehicle sits for long intervals. Look for any corrosion on the chassis, suspension bushes and steering linkages, especially around the wheel arches and underbody where moisture can accumulate. Verify that all software updates and firmware patches have been applied, as these are critical for the EV’s power‑train reliability and emissions compliance. A thorough service book review, confirming regular oil, filter and coolant changes on the auxiliary systems, will further substantiate that the low‑mileage vehicle has been cared for appropriately despite its limited on‑road use.
