2022 Peugeot Expert Prof Premium L2 B-HDI 1.5L Diesel · SH22 BOG

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test on 2026-03-25 reveals a critical failure pattern, with the same severely deteriorated nearside front CV joint boot listed under both the passed and failed entries—a clear indication of neglect or delayed attention. The tester also flagged binding rear brakes and a cut tyre, all of which should have triggered an immediate fail. The fact that the vehicle passed despite these issues suggests either a partial inspection or a deliberate bypass of critical checks. This trend is worsening rather than stable, as the same CV boot fault persists from the 2025 test, where an oil leak was noted but not addressed. The combination of a failing driveshaft joint, worn rear brake pads, and a compromised tyre underscores a lack of proactive maintenance. The recorded mileage of 25,673 miles over four years equates to approximately 6,400 miles annually, which is typical for a vehicle of this age and usage class. There are no significant gaps or spikes in mileage to suggest extended periods of disuse or aggressive driving, though the sparse MOT history limits deeper context. The 2025 test at 19,907 miles indicates roughly 15,766 miles were accumulated between tests, which is reasonable but does not account for any intermediate servicing. Without service records, it remains unclear whether the CV boot failure was addressed between tests or if other components—such as suspension bushes or differential seals—have degraded at an accelerated rate. A buyer should prioritise an immediate inspection of the nearside front CV joint boot, as the persistent deterioration poses a risk of seal failure and subsequent lubricant loss, leading to accelerated wear of the constant velocity joint itself. The rear brakes, which were noted as wearing thin, should be checked for uneven pad thickness, glazing, or binding calipers—all of which could indicate misalignment or inadequate service history. The cut in the offside front tyre, while not immediately dangerous, warrants verification that the damage does not extend to the ply or sidewall, which could compromise structural integrity. Suspension components, particularly the coil springs and bushes, should also be examined for corrosion or excessive play, as these are often overlooked in vehicles with low mileage but poor maintenance records. Given the oil leak history, the differential or transmission should be inspected for fluid contamination or leaks, which could indicate internal wear.
