2017 Peugeot Boxer 2.0L Diesel · CL53 APS

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. While it passed its most recent test in July 2025 at 121,592 miles, this followed a significant failure that highlighted multiple mechanical and electrical defects. The trend shows a recurring struggle with the braking system, specifically regarding the parking brake efficiency and binding calipers, which have appeared across the last three testing cycles. This suggests that the owner only addresses faults when forced by an MOT test failure rather than performing preventative maintenance or inspections. At 121,592 miles over nine years, this Peugeot Boxer averages approximately 13,500 miles per year. This high mileage is consistent with commercial use, which naturally accelerates the wear on heavy-duty components. The gap between the March 2023 test at 117,530 miles and the June 2024 test at 118,180 miles shows a relatively low period of use, but the subsequent year saw rapid accumulation, confirming a high-usage pattern that places significant strain on the drivetrain and suspension components. A buyer must physically inspect the front drivetrain assembly, as the nearside CV boot was flagged as split in 2025 and the offside inner boot failed in 2024. These tears often lead to grease loss and premature failure of the joints if not replaced immediately. The braking system also requires close scrutiny; the tester found the offside front caliper binding in 2025, and the parking brake has failed efficiency tests twice previously. Additionally, the deteriorated driver's floor noted in 2024 should be checked for structural corrosion, as floor rot in these vans often indicates underlying rust issues in the chassis if left untreated.
