2014 Peugeot Expert 1.6L Diesel · YL63 CHV

The vehicle's maintenance history shows a worsening trend in mechanical attention as it has aged. While the vehicle passed its 2021 test at 58,913 miles with no defects, the September 2022 test at 79,430 miles resulted in a failure. This failure highlighted several neglected items, including an insecure rear exhaust system, a non-functional rear upper stop lamp, and insufficient windscreen washer fluid. The tester also flagged both nearside and offside front brake discs as worn, pitted, or scored. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a typical light-use commercial vehicle, averaging roughly 6,600 miles per year. The record shows steady progression from 20,031 miles in February 2017 to 79,430 miles in September 2022. However, there is a significant data gap between the September 2022 test and the current date of July 2026. This nearly four-year absence of recorded MOT data means the current roadworthiness of the vehicle cannot be verified through official records, and the mechanical state may have deteriorated significantly since the last documented inspection. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and exhaust. The 2022 advisories regarding pitted and scored front brake discs suggest the components were nearing the end of their service life. You should check for excessive vibration during braking and inspect the thickness of the discs. The previous failure of the rear exhaust system also warrants a close look at the mounting brackets and the integrity of the exhaust pipework to ensure it is secure and free from heavy corrosion. Beyond the brakes and exhaust, inspect the lighting and exterior components. The history shows recurring issues with lamps and bumper damage, including a noted rear bumper issue in 2019 and a failed stop lamp in 2022. Check all exterior light clusters, including the registration plate lamps and high-level stop lamps, to ensure they function correctly. Given the age and the nature of the previous failures, a thorough check of the tyre tread and suspension components is also necessary to ensure the vehicle meets current legal standards.
