2018 Peugeot Boxer 2.0L Diesel · NX68 BBJ

The 2018 Peugeot Boxer presents a mixed roadworthiness profile, with a recent MOT failure on 2026-03-24 at 28,320 miles followed by a pass on 2026-03-27. The lack of recorded defects in both tests suggests no immediate safety-critical issues, but the rapid succession of a failure and subsequent pass raises questions about the nature of the fault. The absence of specific defect details limits definitive conclusions, though the vehicle’s low mileage for its age implies potential inactivity or minimal use, which could mask wear in components like suspension bushes or brake discs. The mileage history reveals a significant jump from 157,952 miles in 2023 to 167,012 miles in 2024, an increase of 9,060 miles within 12 months. This abrupt rise contrasts sharply with the current 28,320 miles recorded in 2026, suggesting possible data inconsistencies or extended periods of non-use. The vehicle’s low overall mileage—approximately 3,540 miles annually—may indicate it has not been driven frequently, which could lead to issues such as corrosion in the chassis or binding calipers due to infrequent operation. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the vehicle’s suspension for worn coil springs or deteriorated bushes, as low mileage often correlates with underused components. The absence of corrosion reports in the MOTs is reassuring, but visual checks for rust on the chassis and underbody are essential. Brake discs and calipers should be tested for uneven wear or binding, particularly given the recent MOT failure. No structural integrity issues are flagged in the record, but the sparse defect data means a physical inspection remains critical to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical soundness.
