2015 Peugeot Boxer 335 Professional L2H2HDI 2.2L Diesel · VFZ 7964

A clean slate defines the MOT history of this 2015 Peugeot Boxer 335, with the most recent test on 13 April 2026 returning a pass with no advisories or defects recorded, and the prior test on 11 April 2025 repeating that outcome. The single anomaly in the record is a fail on 7 April 2025, which surprisingly shows no defects logged against the vehicle; this typically indicates an administrative refusal rather than a mechanical disqualification, and the immediate re-test four days later confirms the van was able to satisfy DVSA standards with no remedial work recorded. Across five tests spanning from September 2022 to April 2026, there are zero advisories for corrosion, suspension wear, brake deterioration, or any other component, presenting an unusually tidy roadworthiness profile for a commercial vehicle of this vintage and workload. Mileage accumulation appears broadly consistent with the vehicle's age and likely commercial application. With 123,014 miles recorded over an 11-year life, the annual rate works out at approximately 11,183 miles, which sits comfortably within the expected range for a working L2H2 panel van of this generation. There is a notable testing gap between September 2022 and April 2024, where no MOT entry exists, but this aligns with MOT exemption rules for vans under a certain age bracket and does not necessarily signal any off-road storage period. The mileage progression through subsequent tests suggests steady, continuous use rather than any dramatic spikes that might indicate a rapid change of duty cycle, such as a long-distance fleet transfer or a sudden drop indicative of prolonged standing. For a prospective buyer, the absence of recorded advisories is encouraging but warrants hands-on verification, particularly given the higher-load demands placed on commercial vans. On a test drive, pay close attention to the front suspension for any clonks or knocks over uneven surfaces, as Boxer cabs are known for wear in the anti-roll bar drop links, wishbone bushes, and front strut top mountings under heavy loading. The braking system should be evaluated under load: a laden run with a few sharp stops will expose binding calipers, warped front discs, or soft brake pedal feel more readily than an unladen test. The rear leaf spring assemblies and their U-bolt fixings are common wear points on this platform and should be inspected visually for cracked or sagging springs, particularly if the vehicle has been operated consistently near its maximum payload. Diesel-specific checks are equally important on a HDI unit of this age and mileage. Listen on cold start for any timing chain rattle from the right-hand side of the engine, which is a documented weakness on the 2.2 HDI at higher mileages, and watch for excessive turbo whistle or blue smoke under acceleration that could indicate turbo seal wear or injector leakage. A careful under-bonnet inspection should look for oil weepage from the rocker cover gasket, oil cooler seals, and the rear main area, while underneath the vehicle any signs of corrosion on the subframe, brake lines, or fuel lines should be flagged, as commercial vans frequently suffer from underfloor salt exposure. Finally, verify the operation of the dual-mass flywheel during slow take-offs in higher gears; any pronounced rattle or judder under low-speed load is a costly indicator that this component may be approaching the end of its service life.
