2020 Peugeot Expert 1.6L Diesel · SW11 KSW

The 2020 Peugeot Expert presents a stable and largely positive maintenance trend, with the most recent MOT conducted on 10 September 2025 at 38,683 miles resulting in a pass. The tester flagged both front tyres worn close to the legal limit and worn on their edges, indicating a developing issue with wheel alignment or suspension geometry rather than simple neglect. Prior to this, the vehicle passed cleanly in September 2024 at 34,083 miles and again in August 2023 at 27,271 miles, demonstrating a consistent record of roadworthiness over the past three years. The emergence of uneven front tyre wear at the latest test represents a minor but notable shift from the previously defect-free history, suggesting a component may have deteriorated or shifted out of specification in the last twelve months. The mileage accumulation is straightforward and unremarkable. Between August 2023 and September 2024, the vehicle covered approximately 6,812 miles, and between September 2024 and September 2025, it added a further 4,600 miles. This slight reduction in annual mileage is not concerning and may simply reflect lighter use in the most recent year. The overall average of roughly 6,447 miles per year is typical for a light commercial van of this age, and the steady progression with no anomalous jumps or gaps suggests genuine, regularly recorded mileage rather than clocking or long periods of disuse. The edge wear pattern on both front tyres is the key finding a buyer should investigate in person. Edge wear on both nearside and offside fronts typically points to toe misalignment, worn suspension bushes, or deteriorated tracking geometry rather than a single isolated fault. A physical inspection should include checking the condition of front suspension bushes, ball joints, and tie rod ends, along with a live four-wheel alignment check. The rear brakes, exhaust system, and underside for corrosion should also be examined, as these are common wear points on commercial vans that may not always appear as advisories until significant deterioration occurs. The clean MOT history prior to September 2025 suggests the vehicle has been reasonably well maintained, but the latest tyre wear flags a mechanical issue that warrants prompt attention before it accelerates tyre replacement costs or compromises handling stability.
