2018 Peugeot Boxer 2.0L Diesel · 7 OML

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history indicates a worsening trend regarding deferred repairs on mechanical components. While the most recent test on 21 May 2026 at 133,026 miles passed, it introduced several advisories that suggest proactive maintenance is lacking. The tester flagged play in the offside front track rod end and a severely deteriorated offside front drive shaft CV boot, alongside a non-excessive oil leak. These issues indicate that the vehicle is only being maintained to the legal minimum rather than undergoing preventative mechanical care. At 133,026 miles over eight years, this Peugeot Boxer reflects a high mileage profile of approximately 16,600 miles per year. The data shows consistent heavy use, with a 2,304 mile jump recorded between April 2025 and May 2026. This high mileage puts significant strain on the heavy-duty suspension and drivetrain. The failure in May 2024 at 124,159 miles revealed multiple critical issues including brake efficiency and tyres, showing that the vehicle is frequently pushed to its mechanical limits between annual inspections. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and front suspension. The 2024 failure highlighted seriously weakened front brake discs and a faulty parking brake mechanism, while the 2026 advisory notes the rear discs are beginning to pit. The deteriorated state of the offside front CV boot requires immediate replacement to prevent grease loss and eventual drive shaft failure. Furthermore, the uneven wear on the nearside front tyre suggests a potential alignment issue or worn suspension bushes, which should be checked to avoid premature replacement of new rubber.
