2014 Peugeot Expert 1.6L Diesel · LS64 BSZ

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 16 January 2026, although the history indicates a declining trend in preventative maintenance. Recent tests show a pattern of multiple major failures occurring immediately prior to the pass certificate being issued, specifically regarding electrical components and critical drivetrain seals. This suggests a reactive approach to maintenance where defects are only addressed once they trigger a test failure rather than being managed through a proactive service schedule. With a recorded mileage of 81,823 miles over twelve years, the vehicle has averaged approximately 6,819 miles per annum. This is a moderate usage profile for a light commercial vehicle of this age. While the mileage is not excessively high, the wear patterns seen in the MOT history suggest that the vehicle has been subject to typical urban or stop-start duties, which often accelerate the degradation of consumables such as brake discs and suspension components. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the nearside front drive shaft. Although the split CV boot was a major failure point in early 2026, you must verify that the joint was replaced or properly rebooted and that no clicking sounds are audible during tight, low-speed manoeuvres, as the ingress of grit can lead to premature joint failure. The recurring advisories regarding defective exhaust mountings suggest the exhaust system may be sagging or vibrating excessively; check for audible rattles under acceleration and inspect the rear hangers for further deterioration. Additionally, given the 2022 advisories for pitted and scored brake discs, a physical inspection of the disc surfaces is necessary to ensure they have been replaced and are not currently exhibiting significant corrosion or lip wear. The MOT record highlights a recurring issue with registration plate lamps and a recently perished spare tyre, indicating a lack of attention to minor ancillary components. Ensure the spare tyre is replaced and check all other tyre sidewalls for age-related cracking or perishing. Given the vehicle age and the history of electrical failures, test all interior switches and external lighting thoroughly during the inspection. Finally, verify the service history to confirm that calendar-based maintenance, such as engine oil changes and coolant flushes, has been performed regardless of the moderate annual mileage, as fluid degradation occurs over time regardless of distance travelled.
