2012 Peugeot Expert 2.0L Diesel · SF62 KLP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent test in October 2025 with 338,374 miles and no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement, moving from the multiple advisories seen in 2022 to clean sheets in the two most recent inspections. This suggests that the previous owner has addressed outstanding mechanical issues that were previously flagged, leading to a more stable state despite the high-age components. The mileage accumulation is exceptionally high for a 14-year-old van, averaging over 24,000 miles per year. Between October 2023 and November 2024, the vehicle covered 20,521 miles in just thirteen months, indicating consistent, long-distance commercial use. This rate of operation places significant stress on the drivetrain, turbocharger, and suspension assembly. While the clean MOT results suggest the vehicle is currently maintained, the sheer mileage means components are reaching the end of service life far beyond the standard interval. A physical inspection must focus on the suspension and braking system, given the history of wear in these areas. The 2022 test flagged a deteriorated offside front anti-roll bar linkage and worn tyres, which indicates a history of neglecting rubber bushes and alignment-related issues. The exhaust leak noted in 2023 should be re-checked to ensure the repair was permanent and has not developed new corrosion. Additionally, the worn parking brake lever pivot from 2022 warrants a test of the handbrake mechanism to ensure the engagement remains firm and effective under load.
