2001 PEUGEOT BOXER2.4L Diesel

The vehicle presents a significant roadworthiness concern with a clear trend of worsening structural degradation. While it passed its last MOT in August 2021 at 92,816 miles, the record is now nearly five years out of date. The failure in July 2021 was catastrophic, flagging multiple structural de-offs due to excessive corrosion on the inner wings, floor, and suspension mounting areas which significantly reduced structural strength. These issues indicate that the integrity of the Peugeot Boxer is compromised, despite previous attempts to manage rust with underseal and repairs. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 25-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,700 miles per year. The data shows the vehicle remained stationary for long periods, with the mileage remaining stagnant between 92,816 and 92,917 miles over several years starting in 2019. This pattern of inactivity often correlates with the mechanical issues noted in the history, such as perished tyres, deterioration of rubber components, and the accumulation of corrosion, which is evidenced by the frequent brake pipe failures and suspension bushing issues across various tests. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the chassis and underbody. The recurring reports of corroded brake pipes, failing suspension mounts, and structural thinning in the sills suggest the vehicle is prone to deep-seated rust. Specific attention should be paid to the inner and outer sills and seat belt anchor points, which were previously flagged for significantly reduced strength. Given the long gap since the last MOT and the severity of the previous structural failures, the vehicle likely requires extensive mechanical and metal work to be considered roadworthy.
