2004 Peugeot Boxer 2.0L Diesel · AT04 GLT

A history of consistent roadworthiness is punctuated by a notable failure of the braking system in August 2024, though the record has since stabilised with a clean pass on 13 September 2025. The 2024 failure was centered on the front service brakes, which were recorded as excessively fluctuating, alongside front brake discs that were significantly and obviously worn. These issues, along with a faulty registration plate lamp and a discoloured indicator, were rectified shortly before the vehicle passed its subsequent test. Recorded mileage of 35,150 miles over a 22-year period represents an exceptionally low annual average of approximately 1,598 miles. This usage profile indicates that the vehicle has likely experienced long periods of inactivity or very limited operational use. Mechanically, this means the vehicle is less likely to suffer from high-mileage drivetrain wear but is more susceptible to the degradation of rubber components and potential corrosion resulting from prolonged standing. The previous failure regarding fluctuating service brakes and worn discs necessitates a focused evaluation of the braking system. During a test drive, the buyer should feel for any pedal judder or pulsation during deceleration, which can indicate surface irregularities on the discs. Any steering pull or uneven braking force should be closely monitored to ensure the calipers are not binding and that the braking effort is balanced across the front axle. Further attention should be directed toward the chassis and suspension components, as low-use vehicles of this age often exhibit perished suspension bushes or structural corrosion. Listen for knocks or clunks when driving over bumps, which may point to worn linkages. Finally, a manual check of all external lighting is advised to ensure that the previously flagged registration plate and indicator issues have been permanently resolved.
