2023 Peugeot Boxer 335 Prof Prem+ L3H2 Bhdi 2.2L Diesel · CA23 EUU

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test on 2025-11-03 confirms it passed without defects at 38,277 miles, though the preceding test on 2025-10-31 at 38,251 miles resulted in a failure—despite no recorded issues. This abrupt reversal suggests either a minor oversight in test procedures or a genuine last-minute rectification of an unlisted fault. The lack of defects in the passing test implies no major recurring issues with suspension, brakes, emissions, or structural integrity were detected. However, the failure immediately before passing raises caution, as it could indicate a narrowly avoided critical oversight, such as a binding brake caliper or a minor exhaust leak that slipped through initial checks. The recorded mileage of 38,277 miles over approximately three years—from the vehicle’s 2023 registration—suggests an unusually high annual average of 12,759 miles, which exceeds typical usage patterns for a commercial van of this age. The gap between the two 2025 tests is minimal (just 26 miles), yet the failure before passing is anomalous. This could imply either rapid accumulation of wear on high-mileage components or a brief period of neglect before the final inspection. The absence of earlier MOT records makes it impossible to assess long-term maintenance trends, but the recent history does not reveal any obvious pattern of deferred servicing. Given the lack of documented faults in the passing test, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of the brake system, particularly the calipers and pads, to confirm there were no undetected binding or excessive wear issues. The suspension—including bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers—should be examined for uneven wear or corrosion, especially if the van has been exposed to harsh conditions. The drivetrain, particularly the transfer case and differential, warrants scrutiny given the high mileage, as does the exhaust system for leaks or structural fatigue. Finally, the tyres should be checked for consistent tread depth, as failing twice on this criterion in prior tests (if any) would indicate basic upkeep was overlooked.
