2006 Peugeot Expert 2.0L Diesel · MT06 ONW

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT, but the history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive maintenance. While it passed its most recent test on 2 May 2026, this followed just two days after a significant failure on 30 April 2026. The record shows multiple recurring mechanical and safety failures, including a split CV boot, weak front shock absorbers, and structural exhaust corrosion. The persistent presence of issues like corroded exhaust and mismatched axle tyres suggests that the previous owner only addresses faults when they become immediately necessary to pass the annual inspection. Mileage data is insufficient to provide a comprehensive analysis, with only one recorded figure of 55,615 miles on 29 April 2024. For a 20-year-old vehicle, this represents relatively low annual usage of approximately 2,700 miles per year, yet the lack of data between the 2024 and 2026 tests makes it impossible to determine if the vehicle has been sitting idle or if the mileage was simply not recorded by the tester during those intervals. A buyer must personally inspect the front suspension and drivetrain components, as the 2026 failure flagged weak front shocks and a split offside front drive shaft CV boot. The recurring corrosion on the exhaust requires a close look to ensure the rust has not compromised the structural hangers or the manifold itself. Furthermore, attention should be paid to the tyres, as the 2026 test identified mismatched sizes on the nearside rear axle, which is a safety risk and indicates poor attention to detail. The previous airbag warning light fault from the 2024 test should also be verified to ensure the system was properly rectified and not merely cleared.
