2017 Peugeot Expert 2.0L Diesel · FN17 VEH

The Peugeot Expert presents a currently roadworthy status following its most recent test on 18 March 2026 at 147,289 miles, where the tester recorded no defects. The maintenance trend appears stable across the available history, with every annual examination from March 2023 through to March 2026 resulting in a pass. A failed test logged on 18 March 2026 at 147,288 miles shows no defects recorded, indicating an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault, immediately cleared by the pass at one mile higher the same day. The mileage pattern reveals severe accumulation inconsistent with typical light commercial use. In the March 2023 test at 61,277 miles the van sat at a modest 6,800 miles per year, but by 31 March 2025 it reached 80,647 miles and then jumped to 147,289 miles by 18 March 2026. That equates to roughly 66,600 miles in a single year, a fourfold surge over prior rates. Such a spike suggests intensive fleet or delivery duties late in life, placing heightened strain on drivetrain, suspension bushes, and brake discs absent from the clean record. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and corrosion points beneath the chassis, as the MOT record captures no advisories yet high annual mileage invites unseen fatigue. The absence of flagged coil springs, binding calipers, or exhaust emissions issues is reassuring, though testers often miss early wear under load. Verify service history for clutch, turbo, and timing belt intervals given the 147,289-mile total. Given the sudden mileage leap after March 2025, treat the clean advisories with caution rather than assurance. Previous keepers clearly deferred heavy use until the final year, so inspect tyre manufacture dates and brake disc thickness personally before purchase.
