2002 Peugeot Expert 1.9L Diesel · PX02 ACJ

The 2002 Peugeot Expert shows a history of significant structural degradation despite its low mileage of 51,221 miles. In the May 2025 test at 51,218 miles, the vehicle failed due to critical corrosion issues. The tester identified a hole in the floor near the jacking point and excessive corrosion on multiple suspension component mounting areas, which significantly reduced structural strength. While the vehicle passed a subsequent test in June 2025 at 51,221 miles, the structural faults were downgraded to excessive corrosion on the inner sills. This indicates the vehicle is currently at the limit of its structural life. The vehicle has covered an average of approximately 2,134 miles per year over its 24-year life. This low usage often correlates with age-related decay rather than mechanical wear. The record shows a five-year gap between 2019 and 2024, which explains the perished rubber components. The power steering system has shown a recurring seepage from 2019 through 2025, indicating a persistent slow leak that has not been rectified. Mechanical attention is required for the braking and suspension systems. The 2025 record notes a corroded nearside front brake pipe covered in grease, which often masks further surface metal loss. Both rear coil springs exhibit heavy corrosion, a risk that increases with failure under load. Additionally, the offside front and offside rear tyres are cracking and perishing, a direct result of low-frequency use and age. A buyer should inspect the integrity of the sills and subframe attachments thoroughly, as the documented rust is advanced and widespread.
