2020 Peugeot Boxer 2.2L Diesel · CE70 WBN

The most recent MOT test on 1st March 2026 confirmed the vehicle as roadworthy at 79,736 miles, with no defects or advisories recorded. This suggests the Peugeot Boxer has maintained a clean MOT history since its last failure in July 2023, though the repeated test dates at both 52,703 and 72,060 miles indicate minor, non-structural issues were resolved promptly. The absence of recurring advisories or defects in the latest tests implies the vehicle has not experienced persistent mechanical failures, but the high mileage accumulation—particularly between 2023 and 2024—warries closer scrutiny of wear-and-tear components. The recorded mileage of 79,736 miles over six years equates to approximately 13,289 miles annually, which is significantly higher than the UK average for a vehicle of this age. This suggests either intensive use or prolonged periods of inactivity followed by rapid mileage accumulation. Notably, the gap between the 2023 and 2024 tests—covering 19,357 miles in just under a year—may indicate the vehicle was driven heavily during that period, potentially accelerating wear on suspension bushes, coil springs, and drivetrain components. The lack of MOT failures during this phase suggests these issues, if present, were either minor or addressed privately. Given the vehicle’s history, a buyer should prioritise an inspection of the suspension system, particularly the rear coil springs and bushes, which are prone to fatigue at this mileage. The repeated MOT tests at 52,703 and 72,060 miles—despite no recorded defects—could imply intermittent issues with brake binding or uneven wear, so caliper function and disc thickness should be verified. Corrosion in wheel arches, subframe, and sills is another concern given the vehicle’s age and exposure history; structural integrity should be checked for rust penetration. Finally, the exhaust system and emissions components warrant examination, as repeated MOT tests without defects might mask underlying leaks or catalytic converter inefficiency.
