2021 Peugeot Expert Professional L1 Bluehdi 1.5L Diesel · EX21 MVO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. While it passed its latest MOT on 17 May 2025 at 60,809 miles, the failure on that same day highlights significant neglect of basic safety consumables. The transition from a minor failure in 2024 to a multi-point failure in 2025 suggests a worsening trend where components are only addressed once they reach the point of legal failure. At 60,809 miles over five years, the van has averaged approximately 12,000 miles per annum. This is consistent with light commercial use and suggests regular operational cycles. The vehicle covered 28,556 miles between the May 2024 test and the May 2025 test, indicating a high-intensity period during that specific twelve-month period. This consistent usage pattern places significant demand on the braking system and suspension, which is evidenced by the poor state of the hardware recorded during the most recent inspection. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and tyres. The 2025 failure noted rear brake pads at metal on metal and seriously weakened rear discs, while the front discs were pitted and scored. Even with these replaced prior to the pass, the performance-related failure suggests uneven wear or potentially seized calipers. The record of three tyres being below the 1.6mm limit and a sidewall cut reaching the cords on the offside rear indicates a history of ignoring routine maintenance requirements. The recurring presence of a damaged windscreen across both 2024 and 2025 shows a lack of attention to minor exterior defects. The buyer should also verify the current state of the clutch pedal and offside headlamp, as these were flagged as faults. Given the high mileage in the last year and the previous mechanical failures, an inspection of the suspension bushes and shock absorbers is essential to ensure that the heavy use has not caused structural fatigue or excessive wear beyond the recorded items.
