2016 Peugeot Expert 2.0L Diesel · LT16 UPH

This 2016 Peugeot Expert has passed its most recent MOT on 26 March 2026 at 74,539 miles, but the pass came after a failed attempt just three days earlier on 27 March at 74,532 miles. The narrow gap between failure and pass, combined with only 7 miles recorded mileage in that interval, suggests the defects were addressed quickly—likely bulb replacements and tyre work—but this does not alter the underlying condition issues that remain. The vehicle shows a clear pattern of recurring and escalating defects. The nearside front CV boot has now been flagged as severely deteriorated on both the March 2026 failure and pass, and was also recorded as severely deteriorated in March 2024. This is a critical issue: a perished CV boot allows dirt and moisture into the joint, accelerating wear of the constant velocity mechanism itself. Replacement of the entire driveshaft is often the only practical repair once the joint deteriorates. The fact that this defect has persisted for over two years without apparent remedy is a serious red flag. Tyre condition has worsened markedly. In March 2025, only a nail puncture and one rear tyre below the legal 1.6mm limit were noted. By March 2026, the situation had escalated dramatically: the front tyre set shows widespread cracking and perishing of the sidewalls, with the offside front tyre featuring a deep cut reaching the ply or cords—a safety-critical failure point.
