2020 Peugeot Boxer 2.2L Diesel · CS20 ONE

The most recent DVSA MOT carried out on 5 June 2025 recorded a full pass with no recorded defects, mirroring the clean results from the 11 June 2024 and 12 June 2023 examinations. This uninterrupted sequence of passes indicates a consistently satisfactory roadworthiness status over the past three years, suggesting that any routine maintenance required by the manufacturer has been kept up to date and that no emergent safety‑critical issues have arisen in the recent past. At six years old the Boxer has logged 80,048 miles, which works out to an average of roughly 13,300 miles per annum – a figure that sits above the typical usage pattern for a light commercial vehicle of this age. Such a mileage level points to a relatively high degree of wear on consumable components such as tyre tread, brake pads and discs, suspension bushings, and engine oil seals. While the MOT record shows no current failures, the cumulative mileage does increase the probability of progressive thinning of coil springs, accelerated corrosion of chassis mounting points, and a higher likelihood of internal engine wear that may not be evident until a more detailed inspection is performed. Prospective buyers should give particular attention to the tyre condition, inspecting tread depth for uneven wear that could signal mis‑alignment or worn suspension components, and examining sidewalls for cracking or hardening caused by age. The suspension should be checked for play in the front and rear bushes, as well as any signs of leaking or collapsed coil springs, which can manifest as clunking noises over bumps. Brake discs ought to be examined for surface rust, scoring or excessive thickness variation, and the calipers inspected for signs of sticking or uneven pad wear that could lead to brake shudder under hard application. Because the vehicle has likely spent periods of low use, a thorough visual inspection for corrosion on the under‑body, wheel arches and exhaust system is advisable, together with a check for any fluid leaks from the engine, gearbox and cooling circuits. A test drive should be used to confirm that steering feels precise without excessive play, that the gearbox shifts smoothly through all gears, and that the engine accelerates without hesitation or abnormal noises such as ticking or knocking. Listen for any rattles from the rear suspension, and monitor the brakes for consistent pedal feel and the absence of pulsation. Verify that the 12‑volt battery holds charge and that the alternator charges correctly, particularly if the vehicle has been stored for extended periods. Finally, request the full service book and any receipts for oil, filter and timing belt changes; confirming that the timing belt (or chain) has been replaced within the manufacturer’s recommended interval is essential for a vehicle of this age and mileage.
