2016 Peugeot Boxer 2.2L Diesel · AE16 FRC

The 2016 Peugeot Boxer is currently roadworthy; the most recent MOT on 2025‑12‑02 at 83 331 miles recorded a pass with no defects, confirming that previous issues have been resolved and the maintenance trend is improving. The vehicle’s recent compliance indicates that the owner has addressed the brake and suspension concerns noted in earlier tests. Mileage accumulation has been steady at roughly 8 300 miles per year, a typical figure for a ten‑year‑old panel van. MOT tests were performed each year, with the latest entry just seven months before the present date, so the record provides a complete annual snapshot without significant gaps. The consistent interval suggests regular servicing and monitoring of wear items. In the September 2023 test at 60 613 miles the tester flagged front inner tie‑rod play, an offside front oil leak, rear brake‑disc wear and a nearside rear tyre wall damage. By the 2024‑12‑05 test at 73 512 miles both the tie‑rod and oil leak were absent from the defect list, and the rear brake discs were reported normal, indicating those components have been repaired or replaced. The 2022 test had shown thin brake pads and a heavily worn offside front tyre, both of which appear to have been renewed before the 2023 test. A buyer should inspect the front suspension bushings and tie‑rod ends for looseness, check for any oil staining at the front lower control arm to confirm the leak source is sealed, examine the rear brake discs for scoring and the pad thickness to ensure they are not approaching the wear limit. Tyre condition demands close attention, especially the nearside rear outer wall for cracking, and the offside front tread depth to verify it meets legal standards. Finally, a thorough look for under‑body corrosion, rust on the chassis rails and exhaust hanger condition will reveal any structural deterioration that may not yet be reflected in the MOT advisories.
