2022 Peugeot Expert Prof Premium L2 B-HDI 1.5L Diesel · LP22 FPJ

The most recent MOT, conducted on 10 July 2025 at 24,635 miles, returned a pass. However, the maintenance picture is not one of proactive care. The tester flagged multiple items at or near their legal minimums, and a central front seat cover was fitted, which prevented a full seatbelt check. This pattern suggests consumable components like brake pads and discs were allowed to wear down to the point of advisory before replacement, rather than being replaced in good time. The trend is stable but only because the vehicle has covered very little mileage since that test, not because the underlying wear issues have been resolved. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a 2022 van, averaging roughly 6,159 miles per year. This light use is the primary reason the vehicle has only one recorded MOT. A single pass on record provides no long-term trend data to analyse. The low mileage itself is not a concern, but it does mean the vehicle may have spent extended periods stationary, which can lead to flat-spotted tyres, sticking brake calipers, and moisture-related corrosion in areas not easily seen. A buyer should treat the advisories from the July 2025 test as active faults. The front and rear inner brake pads were noted as close to the minimum thickness, and both front and rear brake discs were worn, pitted, or scored. These components degrade with use, and given the low mileage since the test, they may not have improved. A test drive should specifically check for a pulsating brake pedal, pulling under braking, or grinding, which would confirm the discs are beyond serviceable limits. The offside front tyre was worn on the edge to 2mm, dangerously close to the 1.6mm legal limit. This indicates a possible wheel alignment or suspension geometry issue, such as worn tracking or a damaged suspension bush, which will destroy a replacement tyre if left uncorrected. The failed seatbelt check due to the fitted seat cover is a secondary but telling detail. It implies the previous owner prioritised protecting the seat upholstery over ensuring a critical safety system could be inspected. A buyer must remove any seat covers and physically check the full length of the belt for cuts, fraying, and proper retraction. Beyond the MOT, a thorough inspection of the load area floor, sills, and around the windscreen for corrosion is advisable, as commercial vans often suffer structural damage from cargo that MOT tests do not assess.
