2020 Peugeot Expert 1.5L Diesel · PY20 CVE

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition with a stable maintenance trend over the last three years. The most recent test conducted on 23 June 2025 at 108,967 miles resulted in a pass, though it identified light misting on the offside rear shock absorber. This indicates the beginning of a component failure rather than an immediate safety risk, as the vehicle maintained clean records in the two preceding inspections. The mileage profile reflects heavy usage for a six-year-old van, averaging approximately 18,000 miles per annum. Between June 2023 and June 2024, the vehicle covered 10,302 miles, followed by an additional 14,715 miles in the following year. This consistent accumulation suggests the vehicle was used regularly for commercial or transit purposes, which typically accelerates the wear on drivetrain and suspension components. The lack of defects during these high-mileage intervals indicates that the previous owners maintained basic mechanical standards despite the high workload. A buyer should specifically inspect the offside rear shock absorber to determine if the misting has progressed to a significant leak requiring replacement. Given the high mileage, a thorough physical check of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and steering linkages is advisable to ensure no hidden fatigue or perished rubber components have developed. The braking system should also be examined for disc thickness and caliper condition, as the 100,000-mile threshold puts significant stress on these consumables.
