2016 Peugeot Expert 1.6L Diesel · PX66 BBO

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 27 November 2025, though it did so with an advisory regarding the nearside front inner wheel bearing. Reviewing the history, the overall maintenance trend appears stable, despite a failure in November 2024 related to headlamp aim and a recurring advisory for a binding rear brake. While the vehicle has maintained a consistent pass rate over the last five years, the emergence of mechanical advisories in the most recent two tests suggests that typical wear-and-tear components are now reaching the end of their service life. With a recorded mileage of 90,222 miles over approximately ten years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 9,000 miles per annum. This usage rate is considered typical for a light commercial vehicle of this age and suggests a consistent pattern of use rather than periods of prolonged standing or excessive heavy-duty cycling. At this mileage, a buyer should expect standard wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, and the focus should shift toward the condition of long-term consumables and the adherence to the manufacturer's scheduled service intervals. Particular attention must be paid to the nearside front inner wheel bearing mentioned in the latest report. During a test drive, listen for a rhythmic humming or droning noise that increases in pitch with speed or changes when the steering wheel is turned, as this indicates the bearing is failing. Additionally, the previous advisory regarding the offside rear service brake binding should be investigated. A binding caliper can lead to premature brake pad wear, reduced braking efficiency, and overheating of the brake disc. After a short drive, a cautious check for excessive heat emanating from the offside rear wheel is recommended to determine if the issue persists. Beyond the specific MOT advisories, the age of the vehicle necessitates a broader physical inspection. Examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of perishing or corrosion, as these are common failure points on this chassis. Check the tyre sidewalls for age-related cracking or perishing, regardless of the remaining tread depth, and verify the health of the 12V battery. Finally, ensure the service history confirms regular oil and filter changes, as calendar-based fluid degradation can occur even when annual mileage remains moderate, potentially impacting the long-term health of the engine and transmission.
