2009 Peugeot Expert 2.0L Diesel · HV09 HBY

The most recent MOT on 2026-02-28 showed the vehicle passed but highlighted several issues. An oil leak was noted (8.4.1 (a) (i)), front brake pads were wearing thin (1.1.13 (a) (ii)), and the nearside front suspension arm ball joint dust cover was severely deteriorated (5.3.4 (b) (i)). Both front tyres were worn close to the legal limit and showed edge wear (5.2.3 (e)). These findings align with recurring patterns seen in earlier MOTs, indicating persistent mechanical and wear-related concerns. A key trend is the repeated mention of oil leaks, which have appeared in multiple MOTs since 2023. While described as "not excessive," this suggests a chronic issue that may require ongoing monitoring. Suspension components also show consistent problems, including deteriorated dust covers, worn ball joints, and damaged engine mountings. These issues, if left unaddressed, could lead to more severe failures over time. The vehicle’s mileage of 114,931 miles (about 6,761 miles per year) is typical for its 17-year age, implying average usage rather than heavy or light use. However, the frequency of tyre wear issues (noted in multiple MOTs) and suspension faults suggests potential overuse or insufficient maintenance.
