2013 Peugeot Expert 1.6L Diesel · LT13 SLU

A persistent oil leak and emerging suspension wear define the mechanical history of this vehicle, which passed its most recent MOT on 28 April 2026 after failing on the same day due to a worn offside front lower suspension arm ball joint. The record shows a shift from clean tests in 2021 and 2022 toward a pattern of recurring advisories and major failures, including a significant ABS fault in May 2025. The recorded mileage of 81,667 miles is typical for a thirteen year old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,282 miles per year. This steady rate of accumulation suggests a consistent usage pattern, meaning that wear on drivetrain components and suspension bushings is likely commensurate with its age rather than resulting from extreme heavy-duty use or prolonged periods of inactivity. Particular attention should be paid to the front suspension and braking systems during a physical inspection. Given the failure of the offside front ball joint in 2026 and a previous advisory for the nearside front ball joint in 2023, a test drive should focus on listening for knocking or clicking sounds when traversing uneven surfaces or during low-speed manoeuvring. The ABS system should also be verified to ensure the warning lamp remains extinguished and the pedal feel is consistent, following the major failure recorded in 2025. The recurring advisory for an oil leak, present across three consecutive years of testing, alongside a previous note regarding power steering seepage, necessitates a thorough check of the engine bay and underside for active drips or residue. Additionally, the offside rear tyre was flagged for cracking and perishing in both 2024 and 2025; the current condition of the tyre sidewalls should be inspected for similar degradation to ensure the rubber has not continued to perish.
