2018 Peugeot Expert 1.6L Diesel · MW68 EWX

The most recent MOT on 2026-05-11 showed the 2018 Peugeot Expert passed with 164,150 miles. However, the prior MOT on 2026-05-06 revealed multiple failures, including a non-functional windscreen washer, an oil leak, two compromised front tyres, a damaged drive shaft boot, and a faulty registration plate lamp. These issues suggest a mix of safety-critical and maintenance-related problems. The pattern of defects indicates recurring concerns with tyres, fluid leaks, and drivetrain components. The 2025-04-26 MOT noted a minor oil leak and a damaged mirror, while the 2026-05-06 failure highlighted more severe issues, including tyre cuts and a split drive shaft boot. Though the vehicle passed its most recent test, the proximity of the failure to the current date (just five days prior) signals that unresolved issues may persist. The vehicle’s mileage of 164,150 miles over eight years equates to roughly 20,519 miles annually, which is high for its age. This suggests frequent use, potentially accelerating wear on tyres, brakes, and drivetrain components. However, the MOT history does not confirm whether this high mileage has directly caused the observed defects, as some issues (e.g., tyre cuts) may stem from external factors. The trend shows a slight worsening in the last 12 months, with the 2026-05-06 failure recording more severe defects than earlier tests.
