Peugeot Expert: body, structure & corrosion MOT failures
Of the 338,404 Peugeot Expert MOT tests in this dataset, 9.0% recorded at least one body, structure & corrosion failure. It shows up most on 2004 and 2005 cars.
The one to take seriously on older cars — corrosion to structural areas can be costly and is an MOT failure. Typical repair cost: £200–£1,500+ (rough UK ballpark, not a quote).
