2004 Peugeot Boxer 2.8L Diesel · HY04 AOB

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the latest available MOT data. The most recent test conducted on 28 April 2025 at 45,615 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the vehicle currently meets the minimum safety standards. This follows a period of clean passes in the preceding years, suggesting that the mechanical and structural components maintained a consistent level of condition without recurring failures or escalating technical issues. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 22-year-old van, averaging approximately 2,073 miles per year. Between November 2022 and December 2023, the vehicle covered only 812 miles, and it added just 132 miles in the fourteen months between the most recent tests. This low usage suggests the vehicle has spent significant periods of its life stationary or parked. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, such infrequent use often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components and fluid contamination, which may not be fully captured by a standard MOT inspection. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the risks associated with low-mileage commercial vehicles. Older Peugeot vans are prone to structural corrosion in the sills, floor pans, and mounting points, which require a thorough check for hidden surface rot. Because the vehicle is driven infrequently, inspect the tyres for sidewall cracking and flat spots, and check the brake calipers for seized or seized pistons. Additionally, examine the suspension bushes and shock absorbers for perished perished, as these parts age out over time regardless of the low mileage recorded.
