2004 Peugeot Boxer 2.0L Diesel · CU04 AAX

Structural corrosion and braking system instability define the mechanical history of this vehicle. While it achieved a pass on 2025-10-10, the record shows a recurring struggle with chassis integrity and safety-critical components. Previous failures highlight excessive corrosion in the nearside front suspension mounting area that significantly reduced structural strength, alongside a dangerous failure of the offside rear service brake which showed no recorded effort at the wheel. An average annual accumulation of approximately 2,432 miles over 22 years indicates an unusually low usage profile for a commercial vehicle of this age. Such low mileage often suggests long periods of inactivity, which correlates with the recorded history of binding service brakes and the eventual total failure of the offside rear brake unit in 2023. A physical inspection should focus heavily on the front suspension mounting areas and the nearside front outer sills, where corrosion has been repeatedly flagged. The exhaust system also shows a pattern of corrosion that may require replacement. During a test drive, the buyer should be alert for any steering pull or uneven braking force, specifically checking for pedal judder or a lack of response from the rear axle, given the previous imbalance and binding issues. Attention must be paid to the current state of the front tyres, as both the nearside and offside front tyres were noted as being worn close to the legal limit or worn on the edges as of October 2025. Listen for knocks or clunks over uneven surfaces, which could indicate that the previously corroded suspension mounting areas have further deteriorated or that the structural repairs performed after the 2024 failure are under stress.
