2017 Peugeot Boxer 2.0L Diesel · DK17 AWR

The vehicle remains a roadworthy condition, though the maintenance trend shows a slight shift toward mechanical wear after years of clean records. The most recent test in August 2025 at 16,850 miles passed but introduced new advisories regarding oil misting on front shock absorbers and damage to multiple valve stems. This marks a departure from the defect-free period seen between 2020 and 2024, indicating components are beginning to show age despite the low usage. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old van, averaging approximately 1,872 miles per year. There is a notable jump in usage between August 2024 (10,364 miles) and August 2025 (16,850 miles), where it covered over 6,000 miles in a single year. While the low mileage reduces drivetrain strain, the long intervals of stationary time often lead to degradation of rubber components, seal seals, and brake surface corrosion due to lack of regular operation. A buyer must physically inspect the front shock absorbers to determine if the light misting noted in 2025 has progressed to a functional leak requiring immediate replacement. Given the historical failure for parking brake efficiency at the vehicle's inception, the handbrake system should be thoroughly tested to ensure cables have not seized or corroded from disuse. Additionally, the damaged valve stems identified in the latest test should be checked for air leaks to prevent sudden pressure loss.
