2004 Peugeot Expert 1.9L Diesel · LM04 EUY

The vehicle presents a concerning trend of structural degradation and mechanical neglect that suggests a worsening condition. While it passed its most recent test in July 2023, the preceding failure in June of that year revealed critical issues including excessive corrosion on the outer sills and rear suspension mounting areas. The presence of a seriously weakened front MacPherson strut mounting and a corroded front brake pipe in 2023 indicates that the vehicle's structural integrity and braking systems have been compromised despite the repairs made to secure the subsequent one-year pass. Mileage data is sparse for recent years, making it difficult to determine the current usage intensity. The record shows a progression from 98,916 miles in July 2015 to 144,502 miles in July 2020, representing an average use of approximately 9,300 miles per annum. However, no mileage is recorded for the July 2023 test. Given that today is July 2026, the vehicle has not undergone an MOT for three years, which significantly increases the risk of undetected mechanical failure or expired-safety components. A buyer must conduct a rigorous physical inspection of the chassis and lower bodywork, focusing on the areas where the tester previously flagged structural-reducing corrosion in 2023. The history shows recurring issues with suspension components, specifically worn ball joints, track rod ends, and coil springs, suggesting a pattern of reactive rather than preventative maintenance. Particular attention should be paid to the brake hydraulic system and the exhaust system, as both have been flagged for corrosion and leaks across multiple years. The three-year gap in testing also means the current state of the tyres, wipers, and lighting systems is entirely unknown and likely requires immediate replacement.
