2018 Peugeot Expert 1.6L Diesel · DG04 ALF

The Peugeot Expert presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 27 December 2025 at 77,967 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The December 2025 pass came three days after a 24 December 2025 failure at 77,964 miles, yet the DVSA record shows no defects listed against either test. This pattern suggests an administrative or presentation anomaly rather than a genuine mechanical fault, as the vehicle cleared with a clean sheet days later and has shown no advisories or failures tied to worn components throughout its life. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for an eight-year-old 2018 van, averaging roughly 9,746 miles per year against the 77,967 miles recorded. The gap between the October 2023 test at 51,614 miles and the December 2024 test at 61,725 miles shows about 10,111 miles covered in fourteen months, consistent with light commercial use. A longer gap then appears between December 2024 and December 2025, where 16,242 miles were added, a slightly higher but unremarkable rate for this class of vehicle. The official record flags no suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, binding calipers, corrosion, or exhaust emissions issues at any stage. The two failed entries in October 2023 and December 2025 carry no recorded defects, so the data gives no evidence of recurring mechanical or structural risk. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity, underbody rust, and brake condition, as MOT pass sheets with zero advisories do not capture consumable wear between tests. Previous owners appear to have kept the van to a basic pass standard with no flagged neglect of tyres, wiper blades, or major systems. The clean advisory history implies routine presentation rather than deferred maintenance, though the unexplained December 2025 fail-retest cycle warrants a check of the original refusal reason with the testing station before purchase.
