2006 Peugeot Expert 2.0L Diesel · WN56 WFX

Chronic structural corrosion and recurring suspension mounting failures define this vehicle's history, with a trend of deteriorating underbody integrity. While it passed its last test on 15 December 2025, this followed a failure for injector chuffing and exhaust fumes entering the cabin, and the pass was granted despite multiple advisories regarding damaged engine mountings, corroded Macpherson strut mountings, and rear underbody corrosion. The recorded mileage of 166,440 miles is typical for a twenty-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging roughly 8,322 miles per year. This consistent usage pattern suggests a steady accumulation of wear on high-stress drivetrain components and suspension bushings, which aligns with the recorded failures of CV boots and steering rack play seen in earlier tests. Immediate attention is required for the structural corrosion noted across multiple years, specifically regarding the rear sills and underbody which have previously required major repairs to maintain structural strength. Potential buyers should inspect the rear valance and brake pipes for advanced oxidation and check the current state of the front upper Macpherson strut mountings. During a test drive, listen for knocks or vibrations from the nearside front engine mounting and feel for any steering instability or free play, as flagged in previous assessments. The history of binding front brakes and uneven tyre wear on the edges suggests potential caliper issues or alignment problems. A test drive should include a check for pedal judder or a vehicle that pulls to one side under braking. Additionally, the reported oil leak and previous injector chuffing necessitate a close inspection of the engine bay for fresh residue and a check for any exhaust fumes entering the cabin while the engine is idling or under load.
