2018 PEUGEOT BOXER2.0L Diesel

The Peugeot Boxer’s most recent MOT test on 2025-09-03 at 22,514 miles confirms it remains roadworthy with no defects recorded. The consistent pass history—spanning five consecutive tests from 2021 to 2025—indicates no recurring mechanical failures or advisory issues that would suggest worsening conditions. However, the absence of defects does not preclude wear beyond MOT thresholds, particularly in areas like suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake caliper binding, which are not routinely inspected in depth during a standard test. The vehicle’s mileage progression reveals an unusually low annual average of approximately 2,814 miles, with significant gaps between tests. The jump from 6,874 miles in June 2021 to 9,321 miles in July 2022 suggests a period of inactivity or minimal use, followed by gradual accumulation. The most recent test in September 2025, just eight months prior to today, aligns with the DVSA’s three-year MOT cycle for this model, but the sparse mileage implies potential neglect of routine maintenance such as fluid changes or minor servicing. Such low mileage can mask underlying issues if the vehicle has been stored for extended periods, increasing the risk of corrosion or component degradation. Given the clean MOT record, a buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of suspension components, particularly the rear axle bushes and coil springs, which are common wear points on this platform. The brakes, while not explicitly flagged, warrant closer examination for uneven pad wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has experienced prolonged periods of disuse. Corrosion checks are also essential, focusing on wheel arches, sills, and underbody areas where standing water could have accelerated deterioration. The absence of advisories in prior tests does not guarantee these areas are unaffected, so visual and functional assessment is critical.
