2000 Peugeot Boxer 2.4L Diesel · L222 ADG

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 16 March 2026 at 56,099 miles, confirming current roadworthiness, yet the maintenance trend is inconsistent; the same test recorded light oil misting on the offside front shock absorbers and the earlier March 2026 failure highlighted recurring suspension and brake deficiencies that were not fully addressed. At 26 years old, the recorded 56,099 miles average roughly 2,158 miles per year, a low figure for its age; the data show extended periods of minimal use, notably the 1,177 miles logged between April 2018 and April 2025 and only 318 miles in the 2025‑2026 interval, while earlier years such as 2016‑2017 exhibited a sharp rise to 13,083 miles in a single year, indicating periods of heavy use followed by long standing intervals. A buyer should inspect the suspension system thoroughly, focusing on the front and rear shock absorbers, suspension arm pins and bushes, and ball joints that have shown wear or excessive play in 2018, 2025 and 2026; the rear brakes require scrutiny for imbalance, service efficiency shortfalls and possible binding calipers, as indicated by multiple 2026 failures; structural rust on the front cross member and vehicle frame, highlighted in 2015 and 2018, must be examined, alongside headlamp aim, fog lamp functionality, washer fluid levels, battery security and exhaust mounting, all of which have recurrently appeared in the record. Overall, the latest MOT clears the van for use, but the history of repeated suspension, brake and structural defects signals that a detailed in‑person assessment of these high‑risk components is essential before final purchase.
