2022 Peugeot Boxer 2.2L Diesel · CF22 LSJ

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 7 August 2025, though this followed a failure just three days prior on 4 August 2025. The failed test highlighted major defects regarding the lighting system, specifically an incorrectly aimed offside headlamp and a non-functional nearside main beam, alongside significantly worn rear brake discs. While these issues were rectified to achieve a pass, the failure of the braking components suggests a period of deferred maintenance, indicating that the vehicle may have been run to the limit of its service life before intervention. The recorded mileage of 64,090 miles over approximately four years represents an annual average of roughly 16,000 miles. This is a high usage rate for this age, typical of a commercial vehicle used intensively for transport or delivery. Such rapid mileage accumulation accelerates the wear and tear of critical consumables and places higher stress on the drivetrain, suspension bushes, and braking systems. A buyer should view this vehicle as one that has worked hard, meaning it is more likely to require imminent replacement of wear-and-tear items compared to a lower-mileage example. Regarding the recent MOT failures, it is essential to confirm that the rear brake discs and pads were fully replaced rather than superficially repaired. During a test drive, the buyer should be alert for any grinding sounds, vibrations through the brake pedal, or a lack of stopping power, which could indicate poor installation or uneven disc wear. The lighting failures, while relatively minor, suggest a lack of routine pre-test inspections by the previous owner, which may point to a reactive rather than proactive maintenance regime. Given the high mileage and commercial application, a comprehensive physical inspection is advised. The buyer should check the front suspension bushes for perishing and the coil springs for signs of corrosion or fatigue. It is also critical to inspect the tyres for uneven wear patterns, which would suggest alignment issues or worn steering components. Finally, the service history must be scrutinized to ensure that engine oil and filter changes have been carried out at the appropriate intervals to protect the turbocharger and internal engine components from premature wear.
