2010 Peugeot Expert 1.6L Diesel · RF59 EHS

The most recent MOT test on 2026-03-25 confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy with no defects recorded, though the test was conducted just four months ago. Over the past five annual tests—all passing without fail—the record shows a stable maintenance pattern, free of recurring advisories or defects. This suggests the vehicle has been consistently compliant with MOT standards, though the absence of any recorded issues does not preclude hidden wear or deferred maintenance beyond the scope of a test. The mileage progression reveals an irregular pattern, with a notable jump from 98,456 miles in March 2022 to 170,576 miles by March 2023—a 72,120-mile increase in a single year. This suggests either a period of heavy use or a reset in the odometer, as the average annual mileage of 7,956 miles over 16 years would not typically result in such a sharp spike. The subsequent mileage increments (181,607 in 2024, 194,844 in 2025, and 127,289 in 2026) appear more plausible, though the inconsistency warrants verification. The gap between the 2022 and 2023 tests also raises questions about whether the vehicle was actively driven or stood unused during that interval. Given the lack of recorded defects, the buyer should prioritise an inspection of high-wear components not routinely tested, such as suspension bushes and coil springs, which may exhibit excessive play or corrosion despite passing MOT standards. The brakes, while not flagged, should be scrutinised for uneven wear or binding calipers, particularly if the vehicle has experienced rapid mileage accumulation. Structural integrity is another concern—check for corrosion in wheel arches, sills, and subframe areas, as 16 years of exposure could compromise load-bearing elements. Finally, verify the exhaust system for leaks or excessive rust, as catalytic converter failures or tailpipe deterioration are common in older diesel vehicles and often go unnoticed until they affect emissions or drivability.
