2007 Peugeot Boxer 2.2L Diesel · WX07 AAY

The 2007 Peugeot Boxer’s most recent MOT, conducted just 10 months ago on 19 September 2025, confirms it passed without defects at 60,270 miles. The preceding test on 15 September 2025—just four days earlier—was a failure, though no specific faults were recorded, suggesting either a minor administrative oversight or a temporary operational issue at the test centre. Beyond that, the vehicle has maintained a consistent pass record across five annual tests, with no recurring advisories or defects. This stability implies that major mechanical failures have been avoided, but the abrupt retest and pass suggests vigilance is warranted for components prone to sudden degradation, such as brake systems or suspension linkages. The recorded mileage of 60,270 miles over 19 years —roughly 3,172 miles annually —is unusually low for a vehicle of this age, indicating either infrequent use or prolonged periods of inactivity. The gap between the 2022 and 2023 tests spans 13 months with only 1,917 miles logged, while the 2024 to 2025 interval saw 3,111 miles over 11 months. Such variability could point to inconsistent maintenance intervals, as low mileage often correlates with deferred servicing. The lack of advisories in prior tests means no critical wear was flagged, but prolonged stillness may have accelerated issues like suspension bush deterioration or brake fluid degradation. Given the vehicle’s age and mileage, a prospective buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of suspension components , particularly the rear axle’s bushes and coil springs, which are common failure points in this model. The abrupt retest in September 2025 warrants scrutiny of the brake system , including caliper binding, disc thickness, and master cylinder condition, as these are frequently the cause of MOT failures. Structural integrity should also be assessed, focusing on floorpan corrosion —especially around wheel arches and sills—and exhaust system integrity , as rust can compromise both safety and emissions compliance. The absence of advisories in prior tests does not preclude latent issues, so visual checks for fluid leaks, unusual noises under acceleration or cornering, and tyre wear patterns are essential.
