2006 Peugeot Boxer 2.8L Diesel · NK56 AGO

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 2026‑05‑26 with no defects recorded, confirming current roadworthiness. The maintenance trend shows clear improvement after a series of failures in 2020 and 2022. The recurring rear‑shock oil misting that appeared in 2022 and earlier has not re‑appeared, and the latest test is free of any advisories, indicating the previously identified problems have been addressed. Mileage accumulation has been modest throughout the vehicle’s life. At 62 544 miles over roughly 20 years, the average annual mileage is about 3 127 miles, which is low for a 2006 model. The MOT records show a gradual, low‑mileage increase each year: from 62 207 miles in June 2025 to 62 544 miles in May 2026, a rise of only 337 miles over a ten‑month interval. This pattern suggests the vehicle has been stored or used sparingly, and the mileage growth is slowing rather than accelerating. A buyer should inspect several components highlighted in the history. The rear shock absorbers exhibited oil misting on four consecutive tests up to 2022; a visual leak check and ride‑height test are essential. Front tyres were noted as slightly damaged in June 2025; a tread‑depth gauge and a visual scan for cracking are required. Power‑steering pipe corrosion was recorded in 2023; the steering system should be examined for leaks and corrosion. Structural corrosion was severe in 2020, affecting the front subframe mounting and chassis rigidity; a thorough under‑body inspection for rust and panel integrity is necessary. Brake discs were worn and pitted across all axles in 2020; brake pedal feel and pad wear should be checked. A past radiator water leak and brake binding/fluctuation also suggest a cooling‑system and brake‑system audit. Overall, the recent MOT passes demonstrate that the earlier faults have been remedied, and the low mileage indicates limited wear. However, the documented corrosion and suspension issues demand a comprehensive pre‑purchase inspection to confirm that the structural and mechanical components are now sound and will not require immediate attention.
