2015 Peugeot Expert 1.6L Diesel · RA65 ABV

The most recent MOT test on 11 April 2025 confirmed the vehicle as roadworthy at 101,670 miles, with no defects or advisories recorded. This suggests the vehicle has maintained a consistent compliance pattern over the past two years, though the history reveals two failed tests at identical mileages in 2023 and 2024—both on 30 March and 21 March respectively—before passing on the same day. The absence of defects in the latest tests implies any issues from those failures were either rectified promptly or were non-critical enough to pass subsequent inspections. However, the repeated failures at the same mileage intervals warrant scrutiny, as they may indicate a recurring underlying problem that was either overlooked or temporarily addressed without resolution. The recorded mileage progression of approximately 9,243 miles annually over the past decade aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. There are no evident gaps or abrupt spikes in mileage between tests, though the 2023–2024 interval shows a 6,286-mile accumulation between tests, which is slightly higher than the average. This could suggest either seasonal usage patterns or a period of more frequent driving, though it does not necessarily imply excessive wear. The most notable observation is the lack of mileage discrepancies between the two failed tests in each year, reinforcing the possibility of a persistent issue rather than a sudden failure. Given the history, a buyer should prioritise an inspection of the braking system, as repeated failures at the same mileage often point to worn brake components—particularly rear brake binding or seized calipers—though these were not explicitly recorded. The suspension should also be examined for worn bushes, coil springs, or excessive play in joints, as these are common failure points that may not always trigger an MOT failure but contribute to handling and safety. Structural corrosion, particularly around wheel arches, sills, and the subframe, should be checked, as this is a critical long-term risk for vehicles of this age. Finally, the exhaust system and emissions should be inspected for leaks or catalytic converter efficiency, as these are frequent causes of MOT failures in this model range.
