2016 Peugeot Boxer 2.2L Diesel · CE16 WSJ

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a trend of recurring mechanical wear and deferred repairs. While the most recent test in September 2025 at 220,372 miles passed, several advisories regarding the steering and suspension indicate unresolved underlying issues. The play in the steering rack inner joints has been flagged in every recorded test since at least June 2023, suggesting that this critical component of the steering system has not been addressed despite multiple MOT inspection cycles. The mileage profile is indicative of heavy commercial use, with the Peugeot Boxer averaging approximately 22,000 miles per year. Between June 2023 and September 2024, the vehicle covered 30,039 miles in just 15 months, representing a high-intensity operational period. This rapid accumulation explains the consistent degradation of consumable components such as brake discs and tyres. The most recent MOT was conducted roughly nine months ago, providing a relatively current snapshot of the vehicle's condition, though the high-mileage environment persists. A buyer must physically inspect the front suspension and subframe, as the 2025 test noted worn bushes on both nearside and offside lower suspension arms, while previous records flagged structural damage to the subframe. The persistent play in the steering rack inner joints requires a thorough test to determine if the steering is compromised beyond minor wear. Furthermore, the 2025 advisory regarding front tyres worn heavily on the inner and outer edges often points to an alignment issue or worn suspension components that need to be rectified to prevent premature tyre failure.
