2006 Peugeot Boxer 330 LX MWB HDI 2.8L Diesel · RKZ 6098

The current roadworthiness status of this 2006 Peugeot Boxer is invalid, as the most recent MOT test on 2025-11-01 at 130,274 miles resulted in a failure despite recording no specific defects. This anomaly, combined with a prior failure on 2024-08-17 at 129,440 miles also showing no defects, indicates an erratic maintenance trend. A failure without documented defects often points to an aborted test, potentially due to insufficient fuel, excessive diesel smoke preventing a successful emissions reading, or a major fluid leak that halted the inspection before a full assessment could be logged. The vehicle has lacked a valid certificate for over seven months. The mileage accumulation over the past three years is exceptionally low, revealing a pattern of prolonged inactivity. Between the March 2023 test at 129,014 miles and the November 2025 test at 130,274 miles, the vehicle covered just 1,260 miles over 32 months. The recorded intervals show negligible use, with a mere 17-mile increase between March and April 2023, and a 409-mile jump over a 16-month gap between April 2023 and August 2024. Such infrequent use suggests the vehicle has spent extended periods standing still, which carries its own distinct mechanical risks. A prospective buyer must thoroughly inspect components susceptible to seizing and degradation from prolonged dormancy. Check the rear brake calipers and handbrake mechanism for binding, as stationary vehicles frequently suffer from corrosion on the sliding pistons and cables. Examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for perishing or sagging, and scrutinise the chassis and sills for structural corrosion, a common affliction on older commercial vans left standing. Drain the fuel system to check for water contamination or degraded diesel, and inspect the exhaust system for signs of internal rust. Tyre condition demands close attention; the rubber will likely have flat spots or sidewall cracking from bearing static loads for extended durations.
