2022 Peugeot Expert Professional L1 EV Electric · NU22 OPW

This Peugeot Expert Professional L1 EV shows a stable roadworthiness trend over the last two MOT cycles, with both tests—most recently on 23 March 2026 —resulting in clean passes and no recorded defects. The absence of advisories or failings in either test suggests the vehicle has not experienced recurring mechanical issues that would warrant further scrutiny beyond standard wear-and-tear items. However, the 17-month gap between the 2025 and 2026 tests is unusually long for a commercial van, particularly one with low mileage, and raises questions about whether intermediate maintenance—such as brake fluid changes, suspension servicing, or fluid top-ups—was neglected during that period. The recorded mileage of 22,275 miles over approximately four years equates to just 5,569 miles annually , a figure significantly lower than average for a professional-use vehicle. This suggests either limited operational use or prolonged periods of storage, which could accelerate deterioration in components like tyres, suspension bushes, and battery health in an electric vehicle. The lack of intermediate MOT tests means there is no data to confirm whether critical systems—such as the high-voltage battery, regenerative braking, or thermal management—were inspected during this time. A buyer should verify whether the vehicle was stored with proper precautions, as cold or damp conditions can exacerbate corrosion or degrade electrical components. Given the clean MOT history, the primary areas for immediate inspection should focus on consumable wear rather than structural failures. The tyres, despite no recorded defects, should be checked for uneven wear, which could indicate alignment issues or prolonged storage on one side. The braking system , while not failed, warrants closer examination—particularly the rear calipers and discs—given the van’s commercial use and the extended gap between tests. Suspension components, including bushes and coil springs, may show signs of fatigue after four years, even at low mileage, so look for excessive play or cracking. For an electric vehicle, the battery health and cooling system should be assessed, as these are less visible but critical to long-term reliability. Finally, inspect for any corrosion around wheel arches, sills, or underbody, as prolonged inactivity can accelerate rust formation in vulnerable areas.
