1995 Peugeot Boxer 2.4L Diesel · M291 TSB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a concerning trend of structural degradation. While it passed the most recent test in September 2025 at 69,900 miles, the record notes active corrosion on the offside front integral body structure. This follows a significant failure in September 2024 where the sill areas and outrigger mounting were flagged for excessive damage that significantly reduced structural strength. Although the vehicle has since passed a test, the persistence of corrosion in key structural areas indicates an ongoing decay process rather than an isolated incident. At 31 years old, the recorded mileage of 69,900 miles is exceptionally low, averaging approximately 2,255 miles per year. This low usage pattern suggests the vehicle has sat stationary for long periods, which often accelerates the deterioration of rubber components and metal. The gap between the November 2023 and September 2024 tests shows only 1,903 miles driven, further confirming the low-frequency use. Such lack of regular movement often correlates with the structural issues observed, as moisture can settle without the benefit of mechanical drying. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the chassis, specifically focusing on the inner arches, sills, and outrigger areas where previous failures indicated structural weakness. The 2025 test identified slight play in both the nearside front and offside rear wheel bearings alongside a leaking nearside front shock absorber that has been misting oil since at least 2024. These mechanical issues, combined with the recurring history of uneven tyre wear and ball joints, suggest that the suspension and steering components require immediate attention to prevent further wear or safety risks.
