2013 Peugeot Expert 1.6L Diesel · WN63 OLW

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a concerning trend of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While the most recent test in February 2026 at 248,213 miles secured a pass, it followed a failure involving multiple lighting defects and a perished anti-roll bar ball joint dust cover. The persistent presence of a front lower oil leak across both the January 2025 and 2026 tests suggests a chronic engine seal issue that has not been addressed despite multiple inspections. The mileage profile is exceptionally high, with 248,213 miles accumulated over 13 years. This averages out to approximately 19,000 miles annually. There is a significant gap in data between the January 2025 test at 147,000 miles and the February 2026 test, during which the vehicle covered a staggering 101,000 miles in just thirteen months. This rapid rate of mileage accumulation places extreme strain on the drivetrain and suspension components, which is consistent with the frequent reports of wear on brakes and tyres. A physical inspection must focus heavily on the braking system and suspension integrity. The record shows a history of worn and pitted brake discs, with rear pads falling below the legal limit in early 2024. Given the recent failure of the nearside front anti-roll bar ball joint dust cover in 2026, the entire front suspension should be checked for play and bushing degradation. The buyer should also verify the severity of the front lower oil leak to ensure it hasn't progressed into a catastrophic failure, as the tester previously flagged it as excessive in 2024 before being downgraded to not excessive.
