If you're driving a Peugeot Expert from the years 2007 to 2016, you might encounter issues with the starter motor, a crucial component for igniting your engine. As a UK based master tech mechanic with over 15 years of experience, I have seen my fair share of starter motor problems, and I’m here to shed some light on this issue.
The initial sign of trouble with your Peugeot Expert's starter motor is usually difficulty in starting the vehicle. You may hear a clicking sound when turning the ignition key, or experience no response at all. Sometimes, the engine might start intermittently, leading to unreliable performance and increased frustration. If you notice any of these symptoms, it's crucial to address them promptly.
Several factors could contribute to the deterioration of your van’s starter motor. Extended usage and age are common culprits, naturally wearing down the motor over time. Other potential issues include electrical faults, such as poor connections or corroded wires, and mechanical failures, such as a faulty solenoid or worn-out bearings. Each of these problems can prevent the motor from functioning efficiently.
Repairing a Peugeot Expert (2007 to 2016) starter motor typically involves diagnosing the exact cause of failure, which may require specialized tools and expertise. In cases where the starter motor is defective, replacement might be the best option. This usually requires disconnecting the battery, removing the old unit, and installing a new one, followed by reconnecting the electrical leads and ensuring everything is securely in place.
Notably, the complexity of accessing the starter motor can vary, potentially leading to lengthy labor and increased costs. Are you prepared for that?
Considering the hassle and expense associated with repairing a starter motor, especially in an older model like the Peugeot Expert (2007 to 2016), you might find it more convenient to sell your van.

It makes it tougher to sell to our network of 4000+ verified dealers, as we have to wait for the DVLA to process a V62 application (usually 6 weeks), so our valuations reflect the delay in sale and storage costs while rectifying missing V5 logbooks.
