2009 Peugeot Expert 1.6L Diesel · SF09 AYY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While it passed its most recent test in October 2025 at 115,279 miles, this followed a significant failure just five days prior. The failure addressed several critical mechanical issues including split CV boots and a missing steering rack gaiter, yet the persistence of a non-excessive leak across 2024 and 2025 suggests a recurring fault that has not been fully rectified. At approximately 17 years old, the recorded 115,279 miles represent an average annual usage of around 6,800 miles, which is consistent with a commercial vehicle of this age. The data shows a steady usage pattern with roughly 10,000 miles covered between August 2023 and August 2024, and another 10,000 miles in the fourteen months leading up to the 2025 tests. This consistent mileage suggests the vehicle has not sat for long periods, though it has accelerated the degradation of rubber components as seen in the record. A buyer must specifically inspect the front suspension and steering assembly, as the record shows repeated failures regarding drive shaft CV boots and steering rack gaiters. The 2025 failure also highlighted heavy corrosion on both rear coil springs; while these were replaced to pass the test, the presence of heavy rust indicates the chassis may be prone to environmental damage. Furthermore, the persistent oil leak should be monitored to ensure it does not originate from a failing seal, and the slow offside rear seatbelt requires a physical check to ensure it functions correctly in an impact.
