2022 Peugeot Expert Prof Premium L2 B-HDI 2.0L Diesel · DY72 MGX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. While it passed the most recent November 2025 test at 97,434 miles, this followed a failure just two days prior at 97,433 miles. The transition from failure to pass shows the owner addressed the immediate safety defects, yet the recurring presence of a non-excessive oil leak across both tests suggests a persistent mechanical issue that remains unresolved. At 97,434 miles in just four years, this Peugeot Expert has covered a significant distance, averaging over 24,000 miles annually. This high usage is typical for commercial applications but places considerable strain on the drivetrain, suspension, and braking systems. The narrow margin between the failure and pass in November 2025 suggests the vehicle was driven to the absolute limit of component life, which explains the significant wear found on the front tyres that led to the failure. A physical inspection must focus on the nearside front drive shaft, as the split CV boot noted in November 2025 can lead to rapid joint failure if not replaced with quality parts. The report of both front tyres being worn on the edge suggests an underlying alignment issue or incorrect tyre pressures that requires professional rectification to prevent further premature scrubbing. Furthermore, the source of the oil leak must be identified to determine if it is a simple gasket failure or a more serious engine issue, as high-mileage diesel engines are prone to seal degradation under heavy load.
