2015 PEUGEOT BOXER2.2L Diesel

The Peugeot Boxer’s MOT history presents a stable roadworthiness profile, with the most recent test on 6 February 2026 at 165,130 miles passing without defects—a positive indicator of its current condition. The absence of advisories or failures in the latest two tests suggests no immediate mechanical or structural red flags, though the prior two failures in December 2023 and February 2025 (both at 148,580 and 162,205 miles respectively) are unusual given the lack of recorded defects. This inconsistency—where the same vehicle fails twice without any documented issues—raises questions about procedural accuracy, though it does not necessarily imply mechanical neglect. The clean pass rate since January 2024 implies either a resolution of prior concerns or, more likely, a well-maintained example where any minor issues were addressed promptly. The vehicle’s mileage accumulation is aggressive for its age, averaging 15,012 miles per year over its 11-year lifespan. This is well above the UK average for a commercial van of this vintage, particularly when comparing the 13,610-mile gap between the 2024 January (148,593 miles) and 2025 February (162,205 miles) tests—a period where 13,612 miles were covered in just over a year. The rapid mileage climb suggests either intensive commercial use or, less likely, a deliberate mileage rollback. The lack of defects in recent tests, despite high mileage, may indicate robust maintenance, though high usage typically accelerates wear on suspension bushes, brake components, and drivetrain seals. For a prospective buyer, the primary focus should be on brake system integrity , given the historical anomalies in test outcomes. While no specific brake-related advisories appear in the records, the two unexplained failures warrant a thorough inspection of caliper operation, disc thickness, and hydraulic fluid condition . Suspension components—particularly rear coil springs, front strut mounts, and anti-roll bar bushes —should be checked for wear, as high mileage increases the risk of fatigue cracks or binding. Exhaust emissions and DPF/EGR system functionality (if fitted) are also critical, given the van’s age and usage pattern. Structural corrosion, especially around wheel arches, sills, and subframe mounts , should be examined closely, as rust propagation in these areas can compromise safety and longevity. The absence of recorded defects in recent tests is encouraging, but the vehicle’s history demands hands-on verification of these high-wear areas.
