Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2022 Peugeot Expert S L1 EV?

Yes. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. A full MOT history analysis will highlight patterns that a single test result won't reveal.

What corrosion should I look for when inspecting a 2022 Peugeot Expert S L1 EV?

Check brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that is expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.

How are tyres and brakes typically on a 2022 Peugeot Expert S L1 EV?

Tyres and brakes are the most common advisory items on vehicles of this age. Budget for replacement if they are near the limit, and factor this into your offer price.

Is the 2022 Peugeot Expert S L1 EV reliable?

Based on MOT data from 1,560 vehicles, the 2022 Peugeot Expert S L1 EV has a first-time MOT pass rate of 98.7%, indicating generally reliable for its class. Always check the full MOT history of any specific vehicle before buying.

Do I need an HPI check when buying a 2022 Peugeot Expert S L1 EV?

Yes. The MOT history will not show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status. An HPI check covers these areas and should be part of any used car purchase.

The 2022 Peugeot Expert S L1 EV is exceptionally reliable, with a 98% first-time pass rate that crushes the UK average of 80%—this is a genuinely impressive result. Dangerous defects are virtually non-existent at just 0.5% of vehicles, so safety concerns aren't a buyer worry here.

These vans are running just 17,193 miles at median age, suggesting many are still under lease or relatively light-duty use, which explains the pristine pass rate. With fewer than 0.1 failures per vehicle on average and minimal advisories, the electric drivetrain is proving durable, but you should still budget for a specialist EV service check if you're buying used—not because these vans are problematic, but because electric components demand expertise most traditional garages lack.

The 2022 Peugeot Expert S L1 EV passes its MOT first time more often than most UK vehicles (98.7% vs ~80% average) — and when it does fail, it's usually something minor and cheap to fix.
