2016 Peugeot Boxer 2.2L Diesel · CE16 WSK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While the most recent test on November 2025 at 162,157 miles was a pass, it followed a significant failure just one day prior. That failure identified serious leaks on the nearside front shock absorber and multiple electrical faults involving lighting and the washer system. The fact that these issues were rectified immediately suggests the vehicle is only maintained when necessitated by the MOT tester rather than during routine service intervals. At 162,157 miles, this Peugeot Boxer has averaged approximately 16,200 miles per year over its ten-year life, indicating heavy commercial use. The mileage record shows consistent accumulation between November 2023 and November 2025, where the vehicle covered over 25,000 miles in two years. This high rate of travel places significant strain on the drivetrain and suspension components. The clean record from late 2023 and late 2024 is unusual given the mileage and the typical mechanical wear patterns seen in large vans. A buyer must inspect the front suspension thoroughly to ensure the shock absorber absorber replaced in November 2025 has not caused secondary damage to the steering geometry. The record of a nearside front tyre being worn on the inner edge in the latest test indicates an ongoing alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that require immediate attention to prevent premature tyre failure. Additionally, the failure in November 2023 regarding low parking brake efficiency suggests the braking system is nearing the end of its life or requires frequent adjustments. Given the high mileage, a physical inspection of the chassis for structural corrosion is essential, as the record does not detail the integrity of the frame underbody.
