2017 Peugeot Boxer 2.0L Diesel · PX17 AEY

This Peugeot Boxer has demonstrated a stable roadworthiness record over the past three MOT cycles, with no defects or advisories recorded in any of the five tests conducted between March 2023 and January 2026. The most recent inspection on January 26, 2026, at 81,407 miles confirms the vehicle remains compliant with current UK standards, though the duplicate entry for April 2025—one pass and one fail at identical mileage—suggests a minor administrative anomaly rather than a mechanical issue. The absence of recurring faults implies that critical components such as suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers have not required attention beyond routine checks, though this does not preclude hidden wear or deferred maintenance. The mileage progression of approximately 9,000 miles annually aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, with no abrupt spikes or prolonged periods of inactivity that might suggest neglect or extended storage. The gap between tests averages around 12 months, which is standard for MOT intervals, though the lack of intermediate servicing records means the buyer cannot assume regular upkeep beyond legal requirements. The most notable mileage jump occurred between March 2023 (71,081 miles) and April 2024 (76,238 miles), covering 5,157 miles in under a year, which could indicate either consistent driving or a period of heavier use. Given the clean MOT history, the primary focus for an in-person inspection should centre on high-wear items that are not routinely tested. The suspension—particularly the rear axle bushes and coil springs—should be examined for uneven sagging or excessive play, as these are common failure points in commercial vans of this age. Brake discs and calipers, while not flagged in MOTs, may show uneven wear or corrosion, especially if the vehicle has been used for heavy loads. Structural integrity, particularly around wheel arches and sills, warrants close scrutiny for corrosion, as commercial vehicles are prone to hidden rust in areas not always visible during a basic MOT. Finally, the exhaust system should be checked for leaks or damaged sections, as these often develop between tests despite passing emissions standards.
