2019 Peugeot Boxer 2.0L Diesel · CA68 VVN

This Peugeot Boxer presents a remarkably limited official testing history, captured by a single test session on the twenty-fourth of February 2022 resulting in an initial failure followed by a prompt pass on the same day. The recorded defects from that single session include a non-illuminating nearside rear registration plate lamp that caused the initial test refusal, alongside a minor defect noting a defective offside front side repeater lens and an advisory highlighting that the offside rear outer brake pads were wearing thin. Because this represents the sole recorded MOT event in the data provided, prospective buyers must evaluate the vehicle with the understanding that long-term historical roadworthiness trends cannot be established from this single data point alone. With an odometer reading of 64,170 miles at roughly seven years of age, the vehicle has accumulated an average of approximately 9,167 miles per year, which aligns closely with typical commercial usage expectations for a large van. This mileage accumulation rate suggests steady deployment rather than extreme heavy-duty fleet pounding or prolonged static storage. Mechanically, a commercial vehicle operating at this mileage level should be scrutinized for premature wear on high-stress components such as suspension linkages, wheel bearings, and clutch assemblies, particularly given the rigorous demands typically placed on chassis of this size. During a static inspection and dynamic road test, the buyer must pay close attention to the braking system, directly addressing the thin offside rear outer brake pads flagged during its recorded test. Listen carefully for any metallic grinding, squealing, or scraping noises from the rear axle when applying the brake pedal, and check for any vehicle pull or judder through the steering wheel during heavy deceleration. A physical inspection of the brake discs and remaining pad friction material across all four corners is essential to determine if replacement work is immediately required. Furthermore, inspect the lighting and electrical systems thoroughly to ensure that the previously noted registration plate lamp and side repeater defects have been properly rectified and remain fully operational. On the road, drive over varied road surfaces to assess the suspension and steering responsiveness, listening for any knocks, thunks, or excessive body roll that would indicate worn anti-roll bar drops links, suspension bushes, or damper fatigue. Given the commercial nature of the Boxer platform, a thorough inspection of the underbody for structural corrosion and any evidence of fluid leaks from the engine bay or transmission housing will complete a rigorous pre-purchase evaluation.
