1999 PEUGEOT BOXER1.9L DIESEL

The 1999 Peugeot Boxer passed its most recent MOT on 2026-05-22 at 67,150 miles, with minor corrosion in both front inner wheel arches and a worn, pitted front brake disc. No critical failures were recorded, but recurring corrosion in suspension mounting areas and wheel arches since 2023 indicates ongoing exposure to environmental stress. The 2023-05-23 failure due to excessively thin front brake pads suggests prior neglect, though subsequent tests show corrective action. Overall, the vehicle’s maintenance trend remains stable, with no worsening of structural or mechanical issues in the latest assessment. The car’s mileage of 67,150 miles over 27 years equates to approximately 2,487 miles annually, significantly lower than average for its age. This suggests infrequent use or prolonged periods of inactivity, which can accelerate corrosion and degrade components like suspension bushes and brake discs. MOT records show consistent annual testing since 2023, with no major defects between 2025-05-22 and 2026-05-22. However, the 2024-05-17 test noted corrosion in the nearside rear suspension shackle mount area, a recurring issue that has not escalated to a critical defect. Recurring corrosion in wheel arches and suspension components, alongside a history of brake pad wear, warrants close inspection of the vehicle’s structural integrity and braking system. The front brake disc’s pitting in 2026 highlights potential friction surface degradation, while the 2023-05-23 failure underscores the need to verify brake pad thickness and caliper function. A professional assessment of suspension bushes, coil springs, and exhaust emissions should also be prioritized, as corrosion in mounting areas may indicate long-term exposure to moisture or road salt. Buyers should scrutinize these elements for hidden wear not captured in MOT records.
