2021 Peugeot Boxer 435 PRO L4H2 Bluehdi 2.2L Diesel · CF70 FBY

The most recent MOT test on 2025-06-24 confirms this Peugeot Boxer remains roadworthy at 90,273 miles, with no defects or advisories recorded. The preceding history shows an unusual repetition of tests around 77,973 miles in early 2024, where the vehicle failed once on 2024-03-19 despite passing just two weeks prior on 2024-02-15. This suggests either a critical component nearing failure or a rushed retest after an initial oversight. Since then, the vehicle has passed cleanly twice, implying either a corrective repair or a component replacement that resolved the earlier issue. The absence of recurring advisories on recent tests indicates no persistent mechanical concerns, but the 2024 anomaly warrants closer scrutiny of the braking system, suspension, or drivetrain—areas commonly linked to MOT failures. The recorded mileage of 90,273 miles over five years equates to approximately 18,055 miles annually, a rate significantly higher than average for a commercial van of this age. This suggests either intensive use or prolonged periods of operation without extended downtime. Notably, the mileage jumped from 77,971 to 77,973 miles between the 2024-02-15 and 2024-03-19 tests—a negligible increment that appears artificial, likely indicating a retest rather than genuine mileage accumulation. The lack of intermediate MOTs between 2024 and 2025 also raises questions about whether the vehicle was kept off the road for an extended period or if maintenance was deferred. High mileage over time increases the likelihood of wear in suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers, while the rapid accumulation could stress the drivetrain and exhaust system. Given the 2024 failure and the vehicle’s age, a prospective buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of the braking system, particularly the rear calipers and discs, which were implicated in the earlier failure. The suspension should be thoroughly checked for worn or leaking bushes, degraded coil springs, and signs of binding or excessive play in the steering and wheel alignment. Corrosion in the wheel arches, subframe, and exhaust mounts is another critical area, especially given the van’s commercial use environment. The absence of advisories on recent tests suggests these components may have been addressed, but visual confirmation is essential. Additionally, the engine bay should be inspected for oil leaks, belt wear, and the condition of the turbocharger—common high-mileage concerns for diesel units like the BlueHDi. Documenting any discrepancies between the recorded mileage and the vehicle’s apparent age will also provide insight into its true usage history.
