2019 Peugeot Expert Review - In-Depth Roadtest | Vanarama.com

[@callan4ever]

Professional 2.0 litre Peugeot Expert does the job. Roof height with roof rack + pipe carrier just fits under my car park 2.1m height restriction. Racked out with steel shelving. So far so good

[@inverterville]

I have one now for two years, All in all I think its a good van. It drives well very smooth, good on fuel, great lights. My only gripe is on some occasions the stop start plays up. When I am in traffic and it stops sometimes it does not restart. I think maybe its not as robust as say a ford connect or a VW transporter but its also a lot cheaper to buy. I have the 2.0L Professional plus in silver and I like the way it looks and all the toys

[@zerobambiro]

Good advertising! Now i go and watch a review.

[@vanaramauk]

Tom here: Well. Thanks for that. I always try to be objective with the vans and give potential operators an overview of what to expect. Check out the blog pages on Vanarama.com for further info on the vans.

Er where is the bonnet catch please?

[@ludovicrobert1813]

Hi guys! Are you able to comment on the 1.6L 100ps engine (Peugeot Expert) which I believe is discontinued since May 2019... Any good? What should I expect. THANK YOU

[@vanaramauk]

Tom here: The 1.6 was removed - not for being a bad engine - to standardise the engine offerings across the PSA Group medium vans. The 1.6 itself was a nice engine to drive with - good returns too.

[@lopezben3023]

``` `` NOT, NOT, NOT ... Peuge-NOT. `` `` ``

[@PhilOsGarage]

The 1.6 is horribly under powered and very short geared. Avoid unless you like 3000rpm noise on the motorway.

[@9plusinstalaciones]

Another Great Van Review.

[@vanaramauk]

Tom here: Thanks so much. Glad you enjoyed it. :)

I have had a 2019 Expert for 6 months. It had 61000km on the clock when I bought it. So far it has had to back to the dealer to have the fly wheel replaced, the clutch and the gear box. The sliding doors are a very flimsy design and just today the cooling fan has started running at full speed after the engine shuts off, even when the engine didn't get a chance to warm up. If you are from New Zealand like me and you are used to driving a Japanese van you will be disappointed with the Expert. On the positive side, the van is very economical and nice to drive.

[@dantux8739]

What is the turning circle like in comparison to the Ford transit? My concern is that it is quite large compared to the Ford. Thinking of changing over to the expert. Thanks. Very informative video.

[@vanaramauk]

Tom here: I found the turning circle to be acceptable, even on tighter corners. For me, the Expert shines as a workhorse, I'd still choose the Transit Custom if my hand was forced.

[@dantux8739]

@@vanaramauk thank you.

[@paddymuppy]

Can you review the new Transporter T6.1 please.

[@vanaramauk]

Tom here: Your wish is my command. Anything in particular you like about the T6? It's my personal favourite van...

[@paddymuppy]

@@vanaramauk I like the updated styling and the new dash on the new T6.1. It will be interesting to see if it drives any better than the T6. Looking forward to your review.

[@vanaramauk]

@@paddymuppy Tom here: Just need to get one in and I'll review it. Stand on me.

[@jimandali0]

Update - ABS sensor, hill assist, major engine failure lights all at the same time. Found that the ABS sensor on rear wheels got wet. A week later the coolant pump housing cracked as it’s plastic and attached to the engine block. Again, a few weeks later the aux belt snapped, no battery charging. All in all, it spend 5 weeks in for repairs over a 2 month period. I forgot, when the water pump was replaced, they had not done it correctly and oil was mixed in with the coolant fluid, the expansion bottle resembled like a cappuccino, and a check list was in the van, with a tick for fluids checked.The brakes are still like having drums, and the steering is heavy. At one point 60% of the companies Expert vans were in for repair. Roll on getting those transits in the summer.

[@vanaramauk]

Tom here: Sounds like you're experiencing a catalogue or misfortunes with this van. Where did you get it?

[@bren3155]

says I guy who puts this on youtube... kzbin.info/www/bejne/fF67kIKPjMh5baM hahahaha TIme and time again when this is supposedly the case with someone, the tool is not the problem, the operator is

[@PhilOsGarage]

We have just sold ours after barely two years. These vans are absolutely awful, and borderline dangerous due to a design flaw on the brakes. If you come almost to a standstill lift off the brakes and then re apply, they slam on unpredictably. Add in poor mirrors and poor visibility and you can do better elsewhere. The 1.6 is incredibly under powered taking almost 16 seconds to reach 60mph.

[@vanaramauk]

Tom here: They've made real strides to address the problems of the 1.6-litre engines by not including them anymore. The engine options are now higher-powered 1.5-litre or 2.0-litre. Sorry your previous version wasn't good.

[@Elwooddudes]

[@newprincess76]

Only holds takeaway cups not a metal refillable mug, stereo shuts down if heating is too high. Not a fan. Rubbish french design

[@jimandali0]

Worse, worse van I have ever used. Arm rest stopped working within weeks. Gearbox needed repairing before 50k. Android Auto kept failing. Cannot find ignition hole in the dark. Radio signal is absolutely shite, DAB more like WTF. Glovebox is a bugger to open. Why is the volume control sooooo far away. Steering wheel no grip and steering assistance is heavy. Wing mirrors so small and very limited view, no blind spot. Interior lights pathetic weak brightness. Keep getting oil light warning, turn ignition off/on, it goes away ????. Typical cheap french 80’s quality. Drives like a bus, no way could you WANT to drive it like a transit. Good points - Good high beam, good seats, that’s it.

[@vanaramauk]

Tom here: Sad to hear you don't enjoy the van. The driver layout was pretty great, as I recall. Totally understand your POV, however, different vans work for different people.

[@jimandali0]

So, not just me that’s got issues with fading brakes, had new ones put on, within 2 weeks no confidence in them at all. Roll on Spring and getting a Ford Transit. Spoke to colleagues and they moan about how they can’t stand their Expert either.

[@bren3155]

How does an arm rest stop working? what are you doing to it, its literally vinyl covered steel on a metal pivot point? gearbox at 50k? next to the break there is a clutch, its super handy! android auto kept failing? afraid android (your phone) or your cable is likely the problem, all the car does is replicate from the phone. volume control too far away? its on the steering wheel... where are you sitting? No grip on the steering wheel? Do you have felt oil covered hands... im confused how hard black plastic is any different to other vans? put on a leather steering wheel cover! wing mirrors so small? literally the same size as every other van...? interior light brightness too dull? this point is just stupid, they are standard automotive incandesant bulbs, change them for LED's then... oil light warning? dont just turn it off and on... PUT IN OIL! sheesh! drives like a bus? what busses you been driving because thats a bus I want to drive! I know your comment is a year old but I truely am so so confused about every one of your borderline nonsensical points... I feel like there is something else going on here, like... you're the problem not the van maybe... very possibly... maybe your x partner was french so now you just have a huge gripe with them... just FYI Peugeot is hardly French anymore with European and American management, designers and engineers with platforms and components that are shared across many brands and vehicles... so keep your bigotry out of it. Cheers, Some Random Australian who just wasted 15mins to troll you :)

[@ibramguirguis]

you're a paid by VW or what ? you have literally had problems that actually doesn't exist in your van.

Good Engine but that's where it stops. No room in the cab .no where to put anything such as a phone or keys or loose change.no parcel shelf above your head. Very cheap. Drivers seat is not comfortable. I would much rather a transit .

[@renwra1384]

You have multiple places to put keys and there's a dedicated tray for your phone. There's storage under middle seat aswell. It does have less storage than previous models but on the plus side it feels a lot more car-y to drive in my opinion.

[@ah-hl6fr]

@@renwra1384 the worst van I have ever had for storage .cheap plastic dash .you would just about fit a phone in the glove box. Awful van for comfort. I'm driving vans over 10 years and I can tell you ..buy the transit .

[@Mowgliy2k]

@@ah-hl6fr I’ve been weighing up a Transit Custom Vs Expert. I’d love a transit but for the same money I’m looking at 2013 transit vs a 2017 Expert. Ford just seems SO much more expensive. If I had the money it would be the Transit but I can’t justify an extra £5k to buy a similar aged Ford.

[@Elwooddudes]

@@Mowgliy2kI’m at the same point now, seems hard to find a reliable van. Did you ever buy one of these or a transit?

[@Mowgliy2k]

Alas, no. I’m still driving my trust 2012 Peugeot Partner. Ideally I need a bigger van as I’m forever swapping gear in and out of the back. But it’s been great, and I’m happier putting the money in my pocket for now. Having test driven a fair few vans in the time though I’d most definitely go Ford. Much more comfortable and more generous proportions in the back.

[@MrKabooly]

its completely like citroen dispatch.

[@vanaramauk]

Tom here: That's what happens when you platform share - which is what the PSA Group do between the Citroen Dispatch, Vauxhall Vivaro & Peugeot Expert.
