2004 Peugeot Boxer 2.2L Diesel · AU04 HBL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a concerning trend of structural degradation. While the Boxer passed its most recent test in March 2026 at 48,600 miles, this followed a significant failure just one day prior. The tester identified critical issues including excessively fluctuating front service brakes, pitted discs, and a rough offside front wheel bearing. Although these mechanical faults appear to have been rectified, the persistent corrosion in the inner upper wheel arches indicates that the vehicle is suffering from ongoing environmental-related decay. At 48,600 miles, this 22-year-old vehicle has covered exceptionally low mileage, averaging approximately 2,200 miles per year. The data shows very short intervals, with only 1,606 miles recorded between March 2024 and March 2026. This low usage pattern often correlates with long periods of standing, which explains the accelerated corrosion seen on brake components and structural areas. The lack of regular use likely contributed to the accumulation of moisture and the resulting pitting and rust noted across multiple MOT 시험. A buyer must prioritise a thorough physical inspection of the vehicle's structural integrity. The record shows a history of serious corrosion failures, specifically the offside front subframe mounting and the offside front seat belt anchorage in early 2024. While these specific points passed subsequent tests, the recurring presence of corrosion on the inner sills and wheel arches suggests the chassis is reaching a stage of vulnerability. Close attention should be paid to thinning metal around the subframe mounting points to ensure that the rust has not progressed beyond surface level into deep structural compromise that would lead to a future failure.
