2004 Peugeot Boxer 2.0L Diesel · CU04 AXP

The vehicle presents a concerning trend of escalating structural degradation despite recent passing certificates. While the April 2026 test at 51,390 miles shows a pass, the record highlights significant corrosion on the offside front chassis and door step. This follows a history of severe structural failures, most notably in April 2022 when the vehicle failed due to significant loss of rigidity in the outer sill, chassis, and radiator support. The recurring nature of these issues suggests the vehicle is suffering from advanced, systemic oxidation that has not been fully resolved. The mileage profile indicates very light usage for a 22-year-old Peugeot Boxer, averaging approximately 2,336 miles per year. The data shows a consistent, slow accumulation of mileage, with the vehicle covering roughly 3,000 miles between the 2023 and 2026 tests. This low usage pattern often correlates with the observed corrosion issues, as vehicles that spend significant time stationary are frequently more susceptible to surface rust and seized components. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the vehicle's structural integrity. The history shows a persistent pattern of corrosion in the inner wheel arches, suspension mounting points, and the chassis itself. You should specifically examine the offside front area where the most recent test flagged holes and corrosion. The presence of a knocking noise in the nearside front suspension in 2025, combined with historical issues regarding corroded suspension arms and mounting points, necessitates a close check of all bushings and coil springs. Furthermore, the electrical and braking history requires scrutiny. The vehicle has repeatedly failed for inoperative registration plate lamps and non-functional stop lamps across multiple years. The 2021 failure for binding and imbalanced rear brakes suggests that the braking system has struggled with maintenance or corrosion-induced seizing in the past. Given the age and the documented history of structural and electrical faults, a professional inspection of the underside and electrical loom is essential to ensure the vehicle is truly roadworthy.
