2015 Peugeot Boxer 2.2L Diesel · CU65 AXS

The 2015 Peugeot Boxer shows a stable but inconsistent MOT history, with the most recent test on 14 April 2025 at 22,443 miles passing without defects. The record reveals two consecutive failures in April 2024 and April 2023, both at similar mileages (20,585 and 19,307 respectively), followed by immediate retests that passed. While the vehicle has cleared its last inspection, the repeated failures at nearly identical intervals suggest a recurring issue—likely tied to either brake components, suspension integrity, or exhaust emissions—rather than a one-off oversight. The absence of advisories in the passing tests implies any faults were either minor or resolved promptly, but the pattern warrants closer scrutiny of high-wear areas. The recorded mileage of 22,443 miles over approximately 11 years—roughly 2,040 miles annually—is unusually low for a vehicle of this age, indicating either limited use or prolonged periods of inactivity. The gap between the 2023 and 2024 tests (just five days apart) suggests the retest was expedited, reinforcing the likelihood of a persistent mechanical issue rather than sporadic neglect. There is no evidence of rapid mileage accumulation or extended periods where the vehicle may have suffered accelerated wear, though the low annual mileage could mean deferred maintenance on less frequently driven components. Given the history, a prospective buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of the brake system, particularly the rear calipers and discs, as these were likely the cause of the repeated failures. The suspension—including bushes, coil springs, and dampers—should be examined for uneven wear or corrosion, especially if the vehicle has spent time stationary. Corrosion around the wheel arches, sills, and subframe should also be checked, as this is common in older vans exposed to moisture. The exhaust system, particularly catalytic converters and oxygen sensors, may have been the source of the emissions-related failures, so leaks or degraded components should be ruled out. While the MOT record shows no ongoing structural concerns, the repeated failures indicate a need for thorough verification of these critical areas.
