1997 Peugeot Expert 1.9L Diesel · R629 DMV

The 2026‑03‑10 MOT at 116,031 miles passed with no defects, confirming current roadworthiness and indicating a stable maintenance record; the preceding 2025‑01‑15 test at 115,497 miles also showed zero defects, and earlier examinations from November 2023 through January 2025 likewise recorded no failures. The vehicle’s 116,031 miles translate to roughly 4,000 miles per year over its 29‑year life, a low usage pattern that suggests long periods of inactivity; mileage gaps are evident, such as the 42‑mile increase between the 11 November 2023 and 8 December 2023 tests, and a jump of 1,174 miles between the 8 December 2023 and 15 January 2025 tests, while the two consecutive November 2023 failures occurred with only a 38‑mile difference, implying repeated testing of the same condition. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, verify that the rear brake calipers are not binding, examine the brake discs for scoring or corrosion, and check the chassis and wheel arches for structural rust, especially around the load‑bearing rails; fluid condition and tyre tread should also be assessed given the low annual mileage.
