2016 Peugeot Boxer 2.0L Diesel · CE66 UBF

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, but the maintenance history shows a trend of reactive repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent test in August 2025 at 99,349 miles passed without failures, yet it flagged both front tyres reaching the legal limit with uneven edge wear. This indicates a lack of basic consumable inspection prior to the test. While the vehicle passed its latest inspection, the history of mechanical and electrical faults suggests issues are only addressed once they fail. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old van, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per annum. The record shows steady usage, with 13,690 miles driven between the August 2023 and August 2024, and another 12,826 miles between August 2024 and August 2025. This consistent use suggests the vehicle has not sat for long periods, which is generally positive for seals and components, but it also explains the standard wear on the suspension and braking system seen in the advisory notes. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension assembly due to recurring issues flagged. In August 2024, the nearside front lower ball joint and upper anti-roll bar linkage showed play, while the 2023 test noted a worn offside front rear bush. These repeated faults suggest the suspension components are nearing the end of their service life. Additionally, the nearside rear brake binding noted in 2023 should be re-checked to ensure the caliper is not seizing, which can lead to premature pad disc wear. The uneven tyre wear identified in the 2025 test necessitates a professional wheel alignment check to ensure the geometry is properly tracked. If the alignment is out, new tyres will be degraded rapidly. Given the previous failures for the headlamp and registration plate lamp in 2024, a thorough check of all external lighting circuits is required to ensure the repairs were comprehensive and that wiring issues have not developed.
