1999 PEUGEOT BOXER2.0L Petrol

The 1999 Peugeot Boxer recorded at 67,239 miles passed the March 2026 MOT, indicating current roadworthiness, yet the maintenance trend is uneven. The preceding February 2026 test at 67,233 miles failed due to service brake efficiency shortfalls, ineffective near‑side wipers and a serious fluid leak from the near‑side rear shock absorber, while the power‑steering pipe showed slight corrosion that persisted into the March test. Mileage accumulation is modest for a 27‑year‑old vehicle, averaging roughly 2,500 miles per year, but the pattern is irregular. From the August 2022 test at 63,524 miles the odometer rose to 65,462 miles by August 2023 (1,938 miles in one year), then to 66,878 miles in August 2025 (1,416 miles in two years), and finally to 67,239 miles in March 2026 (only six miles in the last week), suggesting long periods of stationary use that may conceal wear on consumables. A buyer should inspect the power‑steering system for ongoing hose corrosion and leaks, test the rear shock absorbers for fluid loss, examine brake hoses and discs for corrosion, pitting or excessive wear, verify the condition of anti‑roll bar mounting brackets for rust that could compromise structural strength, and assess the sills and floor pans for extensive rust that may affect structural integrity, while also checking suspension bushes, mounting points and brake efficiency for any signs of deterioration.
