What's the difference between these sentences? [Passive voice] [British English] - This expression used mostly in British English. - This expression is used mostly in British English. I usually say something like this: 'This word IS used in British English.' But also I can see the first structure on the Internet. And I have no idea about that.

The first sentence is incorrect. It isn't possible to miss out the verb 'to be' in a passive construction. The only time it would be correct is if it were part of a sentence like this: This expression, used mostly in British English, dates from the late 18th century.
