2019 Peugeot Boxer 2.0L Diesel · CT19 ODL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 7 July 2025 at 98,244 miles. However, the maintenance trend is worsening. While the 2023 and 2024 tests were relatively clean, the June 2025 failure reveals a sudden decline in mechanical condition. The tester flagged critical braking issues, including offside front brake pads worn below 1.5mm and insufficient parking brake efficiency. Although these were rectified for the pass a week later, the vehicle still carries advisories for split rear wishbone bushes on both the nearside and offside front lower suspension arms. The mileage accumulation is high for a seven year old vehicle, averaging over 14,000 miles per year. There was a significant increase in usage between July 2024 and June 2025, with the odometer climbing from 81,934 to 98,210 miles. This rapid increase of over 16,000 miles in a single year explains the accelerated wear on consumables and suspension components seen in the latest test cycle. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the front suspension. The recurring mention of split wishbone bushes suggests the front end is fatigued and will likely require replacement soon to avoid uneven tyre wear or handling instability. The recent failure for thin brake pads and poor handbrake efficiency indicates a reactive approach to maintenance rather than a preventative one. Check the condition of the brake discs and the parking brake cable for stretching or corrosion. Given the high mileage and the recent suspension advisories, a full check of all chassis bushings and steering linkages is necessary to ensure no other components have reached their wear limit.
