2007 Peugeot Expert 1.6L Diesel · HW57 EVX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a worsening trend of mechanical neglect and deferred repairs. While it passed its most recent March 2026 test at 135,258 miles, this followed a failure just one day prior for multiple critical faults. The persistent presence of an illuminated engine management light across every recorded test since at least 2024 indicates an unresolved electronic or emissions fault that the previous owners have failed to diagnose or rectify. At 19 years old with 135,258 miles, the Peugeot Expert has averaged approximately 7,119 miles per year, which is consistent with a light commercial vehicle of this age. The data shows a steady usage pattern, with roughly 6,200 miles covered between March 2024 and March 2025, and another 5,583 miles between March 2025 and March 2026. This consistent mileage suggests the vehicle is used regularly, yet the recurring MOT failures indicate that this usage coincides with reactive rather than preventative maintenance. A buyer must prioritize an inspection of the power steering system, as the tester first noted seepage from the rack pinion in March 2024 and it remains unaddressed. The offside front drive shaft CV boot was flagged as severely deteriorated in 2026, posing a risk of imminent joint failure if the grease escapes entirely and contamination contaminates the mechanism. Furthermore, the history of tyre failures involving sidewall damage and structural tears across multiple axles suggests a pattern of ignoring basic safety consumables, necessitating a thorough check of all remaining rubber for perishing or impact damage.
