2018 Peugeot Boxer 2.0L Diesel · NX68 BDE

The 2018 Peugeot Boxer remains roadworthy based on its most recent MOT on 2024-11-12 at 112,752 miles, which recorded no defects. The vehicle has maintained a stable maintenance trend over the past four years, with all tests from 2021 to 2024 passing without recorded issues. The sole anomaly is a failed MOT on 2021-12-17 at 78,508 miles, though no defects were listed, suggesting either a procedural error or a minor non-compliance resolved before subsequent tests. No recurring mechanical or structural faults are evident in the history, indicating consistent upkeep. The vehicle’s mileage of 112,752 miles over eight years equates to an average of 14,094 miles annually, which is above the UK’s typical usage for its age. This rate accelerates wear on consumables like tyres and brake components, though no such issues were flagged in recent tests. Gaps in the record, such as the identical date and mileage for a 2021 test, raise questions about data accuracy but do not directly impact the vehicle’s mechanical assessment. The absence of corrosion, suspension, or emission-related failures in the MOT history suggests the owner prioritized basic maintenance, though high mileage remains a risk factor for hidden wear. A buyer should physically inspect the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, which can degrade under heavy use, and check brake discs for uneven wear or warping, common in high-mileage vehicles. The exhaust system and chassis should be examined for rust, particularly in areas prone to moisture ingress. While the MOT record shows no critical failures, the vehicle’s usage pattern implies potential strain on drivetrain components and steering linkages. A pre-purchase inspection should focus on these areas to confirm the absence of undetected issues masked by the MOT’s limited scope.
