2008 Peugeot Boxer 2.2L Diesel · CX08 AAY

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the most recent inspection indicates a shift toward age-related degradation after several years of clean records. In April 2026, at 31,426 miles, the tester identified multiple advisories including a nearside front suspension arm bush, perishing tyres, and a leaking offside power steering ram. This suggests that while the vehicle has passed its legal requirements, components are now beginning to fail due to time rather than than mechanical stress. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an 18-year-old van, averaging approximately 1,746 miles per year. Between April 2022 and April 2026, the vehicle covered only 9,275 miles, confirming a pattern of infrequent use. This low usage explains the lack of heavy mechanical wear on the drivetrain but directly correlates with the issues noted recently. The 2024 test at 27,513 miles highlighted pitted rear brake discs, which is a common symptom of vehicles that sit for long periods without regular brake application. A buyer must prioritize an inspection of the rubber components and fluid seals. The front tyres are now nearly a decade old and show signs of cracking, posing a safety risk regardless of remaining tread depth. The reported power steering ram seepage requires monitoring to ensure it does not evolve into a significant leak or cause steering pump failure. Additionally, the worn suspension arm bush should be checked for play, as this will affect handling and cause uneven tyre wear if not replaced.
