2016 Peugeot Boxer 2.0L Diesel · DAZ 3094

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding suspension integrity and braking components. While the most recent test in June 2026 at 166,019 miles was a pass, it followed a significant failure just six days prior. That failure revealed critical issues including a fractured nearside front coil spring and excessive wear on both front suspension ball joints, along with poor parking brake efficiency. The persistence of slight play in the nearside ball joint on the passing certificate indicates the component is nearing the end of its functional life and requires immediate attention. The mileage pattern reflects high-intensity commercial use, averaging approximately 16,600 miles per year over the last decade. There was a notable surge in usage between September 2019 and September 2020, where the vehicle covered over 36,000 miles in a single year. Since then, the mileage accumulation has stabilized at a rate of roughly 3,000 to 4,000 miles annually. This consistent high mileage places significant strain on the drivetrain and chassis components, which explains the frequent flagging of consumable and wear-related parts. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension and braking system. The record shows a recurring history of offside front brake binding and thin pads dating back to 2021, suggesting a pattern of neglected maintenance or a sticking caliper. Given the recent failure of the coil spring and multiple ball joints, the entire front-end suspension geometry should be checked for secondary wear or potential alignment-related damage. Additionally, the high mileage necessitates a close look at structural integrity and chassis points for corrosion, as heavy-duty commercial vans typically suffer over time.
