2015 Peugeot Boxer 2.2L Diesel · NX65 AHA

The vehicle presents a concerning roadworthiness profile characterized by a trend of reactive rather than proactive maintenance. While it passed its most recent MOT in January 2024 at 175,798 miles, the history reveals a pattern of recurring mechanical and electrical failures. The transition from a significant failure in October 2023 to a pass in 2024 suggests some critical faults were addressed, but the underlying issues with the braking system and engine oil leaks remain unresolved as of the last inspection. The mileage pattern is exceptionally high for an eleven-year-old van, averaging approximately 16,000 miles per year. There is a notable surge in usage between September 2020 at 156,786 miles and October 2021 at 175,333 miles, where the vehicle covered nearly 19,000 miles in just thirteen months. Since then, the mileage has remained stagnant, suggesting intermittent use. This high-intensity history places immense strain on the drivetrain and suspension components, which is reflected in the frequent failures recorded in the later years. A physical inspection must prioritise the persistent braking and steering-related issues. The record shows a history of severe rear brake grabbing, fluctuating service brakes, and a parking brake consistently falling below the 50% efficiency threshold. A buyer should also scrutinise the power steering rack, which was flagged as oily and damp in both 2023 and 2024, alongside the corroded oil sump and active oil leaks. These indicators suggest ongoing fluid loss that could lead to catastrophic failure if not monitored. The suspension also requires close attention as the 2021 test identified excessively worn lower suspension arm bushes and ball joints. Given the recurring nature of electrical faults involving fog lamps, indicators, and wiper motors, the vehicle's wiring loom and bulbs should be checked for poor condition. The presence of an aftermarket or temporary fuel cap further suggests a history of non-standard repairs rather than comprehensive professional maintenance.
