2015 Peugeot Boxer 2.2L Diesel · AP15 AEK

The most recent MOT history for this 2015 Peugeot Boxer, tested just over a year ago on 2025-07-21, reveals an inconsistent but ultimately stable roadworthiness trend. The vehicle failed a retest on the same day at 270,442 miles, though no defects were recorded—an anomaly suggesting either a minor administrative error or a temporary operational issue at the test centre. The preceding clean pass in April 2024 at 254,538 miles indicates no recurring mechanical failures were detected over the past year. However, the double test in April 2023 at 224,310 miles—also with no recorded defects—raises questions about whether the vehicle was moved between tests or if the retest was procedural. Without explicit fault codes, the pattern lacks clarity, but the absence of advisories or repeated failures suggests the core structure, brakes, and emissions systems have not deteriorated critically in the last 12 months. The recorded mileage of 270,442 miles over approximately 11 years equates to an average of 24,586 miles annually, which is unusually high for a vehicle of this age. This rate implies consistent use, likely in commercial or mixed environments, where wear on suspension bushes, coil springs, and drivetrain components would be accelerated. The gap between tests—particularly the 12-month span between April 2024 and July 2025—aligns with the standard MOT cycle, but the lack of advisories or minor faults in those periods suggests either disciplined maintenance or deferred attention to consumables. The identical mileage at the 2023 retest (224,310 miles) is suspicious and warrants verification, as it could indicate odometer manipulation or an error in the record. Given the sparse defect history, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of high-mileage components that are not routinely tested in MOTs. The suspension—particularly rear bushes and coil springs—should be checked for excessive play or corrosion, as the mileage suggests significant wear. Binding or unevenly worn brake calipers or discs, especially if the vehicle has seen heavy braking loads, could develop without MOT detection. Structural integrity, including underbody corrosion around the sills, wheel arches, and exhaust mounts, must be scrutinised, as rust can compromise the chassis over time. Additionally, the exhaust system should be inspected for leaks or excessive sagging, which often accompanies high mileage. While the MOT record does not reveal critical failures, these areas are where silent deterioration typically occurs.
