Want a job done properly? Then call in an Expert. In this case, we're talking LCVs, mid-sized ones to be exact. This is Peugeot's entry in the volume medium-range van sector, led comfortably for UK market sales by the Ford Transit Custom, but also populated by many other segment big-hitters. Taking all of those on isn't something you'd want to do single-handed, so the French brand has chosen to share this design not only with its partner Citroen's Dispatch model, but also with Vauxhall's Vivaro, Fiat's Scudo and even a brand outside the Stellantis conglomerate, Toyota with their Proace: all these vans share the same platform and basic design. Earlier generation versions of this Expert didn't significantly trouble the main players in this segment - namely the first generation model of 1996 and the second generation version of 2007. The MK3 'K0'-series model though, launched back in 2016, got itself sorted out, with more sophisticated design and larger load volumes that still rival anything in the class. A full-EV version, the E-Expert, arrived in 2020 and the whole range was usefully updated in early 2024 to create the LCV we're going to look at here. You get clever design, proven powertrains and low running costs in a package that certainly works on paper. Whether it'll cut the mustard day-in-day-out though is what we're here to find out.
Despite the recent growth in sales of ever-larger compact vans, you can see why so many operators still choose to play it safe and opt for a larger but still relatively light and manoeuvrable mid-sized LCV like this one. The Expert's designers have clearly looked very closely at what modern businesses need and this smarter updated version makes even more sense on the balance sheet. It's more than competitive against the Transit Customs and Renault Trafics of this world, but whether you'd want one over its Citroen, Toyota and Fiat design stablemates will depend as usual much upon the deal that you're offered and the proximity of your local franchise. Still, Peugeot's huge dealer network and tight pricing sets it up nicely here. It's user-friendly - just like this van.
