2014 Peugeot Boxer 2.2L Diesel · CU14 AVE

The 2014 Peugeot Boxer has demonstrated a stable roadworthiness profile over the past two years, with the most recent MOT test on 27 May 2025 at 55,196 miles resulting in a clean pass and no recorded defects. The pattern of consecutive passes—without advisories or failures—suggests the vehicle has avoided critical mechanical or structural issues during its most recent service intervals. However, the repeated failures at identical mileages in 2023 and 2024 (44,755 and 48,651 miles respectively) indicate a historical anomaly that warrants closer scrutiny, particularly if the same fault type was involved. The absence of defects in the latest tests implies either corrective maintenance was performed or the issues were non-recurring, though the exact nature remains unspecified in the record. The recorded mileage of 55,196 miles over approximately 12 years—roughly 4,600 miles annually—is notably low for a vehicle of this age, suggesting either infrequent use or prolonged periods of inactivity. The gap between the 2023 and 2024 tests (11 months) and the subsequent 2025 test (13 months) aligns with the standard MOT cycle, but the repeated failures at identical mileages in consecutive years are unusual and could imply either a diagnostic oversight or a recurring, low-severity fault that was addressed before the next test. There is no evidence of aggressive mileage accumulation or rapid wear patterns, which might have raised concerns about drivetrain or suspension degradation. Given the lack of specific fault details in the MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of high-wear components that often trigger failures in vehicles of this age. Particular attention should be given to the braking system—especially rear calipers or pads, which frequently cause binding or uneven wear—and the suspension, where worn bushes or coil springs could lead to handling issues or advisory notes. The repeated failures at identical mileages in 2023 and 2024 also suggest a need to verify whether the vehicle has undergone any major servicing, such as brake fluid flushes, differential servicing, or suspension alignment, which are critical for long-term reliability. Structural corrosion, particularly around wheel arches, sills, and the subframe, should also be assessed, as this is a common failure point in older commercial vans. Finally, the exhaust system and emissions should be checked for leaks or catalytic converter efficiency, as these are frequent causes of advisory notes or failures in similar vehicles.
