This 2021 Peugeot Expert diesel van passes its MOT first time in 84.7% of cases, comfortably ahead of the UK average of 80%, and only 10.3% of vehicles have ever recorded a dangerous defect—a reassuring safety record. Petrol figures aren't available for this model, but the diesel engine shows solid reliability across the board.

At nearly 50,000 miles median for a three-year-old van, these are working vehicles with genuine use, yet they average just 0.4 failures per MOT and 2.0 advisories, suggesting the Expert wears its mileage well. Before buying, have a pre-purchase inspection focus on the suspension and brake components, as these tend to be the advisory items on similar mileage, and check the full service history given the commercial duty cycle these vans typically endure.

For context

✅ Good baseline reliability. A 86.8% first-time pass rate puts this well above the UK average — it's a well-sorted vehicle in this age bracket.

🔧 Expect consumable spend. An average of 2 advisories per vehicle tells you wear items (tyres, brakes) get flagged regularly. Budget for them — they're not surprises.

🔍 The dangerous defect figure is real. Most are one-off tyre failures or brake issues — not structural problems. But it's exactly why checking the individual vehicle's history is essential, not optional.

These stats describe 699 vehicles as a group. The specific vehicle you're looking at could be the one good example or the one outlier. Run its registration to find out.
