PEUGEOT BOXER2016 · 2.2L DIESEL

The 2016 Peugeot Boxer is currently roadworthy, with the most recent MOT on 2025-12-12 confirming no defects at 42,871 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows intermittent issues, including a failed tyre test in 2024-11-28 and a brake system failure in 2023-12-19. While the latest test is clean, the prior failures indicate unresolved mechanical or maintenance concerns that require scrutiny. The vehicle’s low mileage of 42,871 over 10 years suggests infrequent use, which may have contributed to the tyre’s structural failure and potential brake system degradation. The MOT history reveals a consistent annual testing pattern, with the 2023-12-21 test at 39,274 miles passing without issues, followed by a brake-related failure just two days later on 2023-12-19. This proximity implies a possible oversight in pre-test preparation or ongoing brake system inefficiency. The 2024-11-28 tyre failure at 40,841 miles, resolved by the subsequent 2024-11-28 pass, highlights inconsistent tyre maintenance. The low annual mileage of ~4,287 miles raises questions about long-term component preservation, particularly for suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs, which can degrade when not regularly exercised. A buyer should inspect the brake system for binding calipers, uneven brake disc wear, or fluid leaks, as the 2023 failure suggests potential hydraulic or mechanical faults. The tyre issue necessitates a thorough check of all tyres for cuts, bulges, or uneven tread, with particular attention to the offside tyre’s condition. Suspension components, including bushes and shock absorbers, should be evaluated for stiffness or corrosion, as low mileage can mask wear in static conditions. Structural integrity is not flagged in the records, but a visual inspection for rust or panel damage is advisable to confirm the vehicle’s overall condition.
