1995 Peugeot Boxer 2.4L Diesel · M960 CNG

Structural corrosion and recurring surface oxidation define the mechanical history of this vehicle, with a trend of deteriorating chassis and anchorage points. While the vehicle passed its most recent test on 30 June 2026, this followed a failure for misaligned washer jets and left several advisories regarding corroded brake pipes and seat belt anchorages. A significant failure in March 2023 highlighted excessive corrosion to the front vehicle structure and a split constant velocity boot, indicating a history of structural vulnerability. The recorded mileage of 86,696 miles is notably low for a thirty-one-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,797 miles per year. Such a low annual accumulation often indicates extended periods of inactivity or very light usage. In the context of the recorded corrosion, these patterns of standing can contribute to the degradation of metal components and the pitting of brake discs, as seen in the 2021 records. A physical inspection should prioritise the areas where corrosion has been repeatedly flagged. The presence of grease on the nearside front brake pipes, as noted in the latest test, is a specific point of concern as this can be used to mask the extent of oxidation. Prospective buyers should examine the lower seat belt anchorages and the rear suspension mounting areas for any signs of structural thinning or further degradation. The use of underseal, noted in 2021 and 2022, should be scrutinized to ensure it is not concealing deeper chassis corrosion. During a test drive, specific attention must be paid to the drivetrain and braking system. Listen for clicking or popping sounds from the front offside during tight turns, which would indicate a recurrence of the previously failed constant velocity joint issue. The brake pedal should be monitored for any softness or inconsistency, and the steering should be checked for stability, given the previous major failure regarding the vehicle structure near a body mounting.
