2016 Peugeot Boxer 2.2L Diesel · CE16 WSF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a clear worsening trajectory regarding mechanical wear. While it passed its most recent test in April 2026 at 144,197 miles, this followed a failure just three days prior at 144,136 miles. The recent history reveals multiple developing faults across the suspension, braking, and cooling systems that suggest the vehicle is entering a phase where significant components require replacement rather than just minor adjustments. At 144,197 miles, this ten-year-old Boxer has clocked high mileage, averaging approximately 14,400 miles per year. The data is evident in the rapid accumulation between March 2024 and March 2025, where the vehicle covered over 5,000 miles in just fourteen months, followed by another 7,000 miles in the subsequent year. This high-duty usage explains the accelerated degradation of consumable items and wear components, such as the front suspension and tyres, which have appeared in multiple consecutive inspections. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension and braking assembly. The record consistently flags worn nearside and offside front suspension arm bushes and binding front brakes, which have persisted since 2025. The offside front shock absorber has been noted for oil leaking since 2024, indicating a failing seal that will eventually lead to total collapse. Furthermore, the coolant leak identified in April 2026 requires an immediate pressure test to ensure the engine is not prone to overheating under load. The tyre condition also warrants scrutiny, as the April 2026 failure for exposed cords on the offside front and edge wear on the nearside front suggests an alignment issue that has not been addressed. The handbrake centre pivot, noted as seized in 2024, should also be checked to ensure the repair was actually performed. Given the recurring nature of these mechanical defects, the vehicle likely requires a significant investment to return it to a standard of reliable operation.
