2018 Peugeot Expert 1.6L Diesel · DU68 FDY

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a clean pass in November 2025 at 63,123 miles. The maintenance trend shows an improving trajectory after a period of instability in late 2024. While the most recent test recorded no defects, the previous history indicates that the vehicle suffered from structural integrity and alignment issues that required rectification to reach the current state of de-facto defect-free operation. The mileage pattern is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 7,900 miles per year. The record shows steady usage with a 4,700-mile gap between the November 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 4,500 miles leading up to the most recent inspection. This regular interval suggests the van has been used consistently rather than sitting for long periods, which is generally beneficial for the preservation of rubber components and mechanical seals that suffer from drying and seizing. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the offside front outer integral body structure. Records from November 2022 and October 2023 flagged fractures in this area and a damaged outer sill. Although the tester noted structural rigidity was not significantly reduced at the time, recurring fractures in the chassis or bodywork often indicate stress points or previous impact. You should verify that any repairs made are sound and that corrosion is not spreading from the previously noted structural weaknesses. The November 2024 failure also highlighted an offside body panel not being secure and an incorrect headlamp aim. While these were resolved for the subsequent pass, a check of the body mounting brackets and headlight adjustment is necessary to ensure no further loosening occurs. Given the history of windscreen chips in 2022, also inspect for new cracks that may have originated from the previous stone chip under the stress of road vibrations.
