2018 Peugeot Expert 1.6L Diesel · OL02 ONE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT test on 4 August 2025 at 136,764 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable but reactive, as the record shows a consistent pattern of failure just days before a successful presentation. In both 2024 and 2025, the vehicle failed the initial inspection but passed upon an immediate re-test, suggesting that the previous owner only addressed mechanical or safety defects once they were flagged by the tester. The mileage profile indicates heavy usage for an eight-year-old van, averaging approximately 17,000 miles per annum. A significant usage spike occurred between July 2023 (87,814 miles) and August 2024 (116,134 miles), where the vehicle covered nearly 29,000 miles in just thirteen months. This high rate of accumulation is consistent with commercial operation, which accelerates the wear on the drivetrain components, suspension, and braking systems. The jump of over 20,000 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests shows the vehicle remains under heavy operational load. While the clean pass records suggest no long-term structural corrosion or persistent emissions failures, the high mileage demands a thorough physical inspection of the wear items. A buyer should examine the suspension bushes, coil springs, and dampers for fatigue, which often fail on high-mileage commercial vans. Given the reactive maintenance history, checking the brake discs and pads for uneven wear or binding calipers is essential to ensure the vehicle is not due for another mechanical failure. The exhaust system should also be inspected for excessive rust, as high-mileage cycles often stress the structural integrity of the mounting brackets.
