2014 Peugeot Expert 1.6L Diesel · KM64 NSZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the most recent inspection indicates a trend of worsening wear and deferred maintenance. While it passed the test on 29 July 2026 at 67,268 miles, it had failed just four miles prior. This failure revealed multiple issues across the front suspension assembly, including an excessively worn anti-roll bar linkage, a worn track rod end, and a noisy wheel bearing. The presence of a gearbox oil leak, though noted as not excessive, suggests a persistent issue that requires monitoring to prevent future fluid loss. The mileage profile is notably low for a twelve-year-old van, averaging approximately 5,600 miles per year. The record shows a clean history between 2017 and 2020, where no defects were recorded for the first 36,000 miles. However, the interval between 2021 and 2026 shows an increase in mechanical concerns. The slow perishing of tyres noted in 2022 and 2023 is consistent with low annual mileage, as rubber components often degrade due to age and stationary periods rather than high-mile use. A buyer must conduct a close physical inspection of the front-end steering and suspension. The recent failure of the track rod end and anti-roll bar linkage indicates that the suspension components are reaching the end of their service life. The noisy nearside front wheel bearing should be tested during a road drive to ensure it does not require immediate replacement. Furthermore, the gearbox leak needs a visual check to ensure it is not originating from a seal that will fail rapidly. The tyres should be checked for sidewall cracking, as the history shows a recurring pattern of tyre perishing over the last four years.
