2017 Peugeot Boxer 2.0L Diesel · ET17 SWV

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a clear worsening trend regarding mechanical wear. While the Boxer passed its most recent test in March 2026 at 146,488 miles, multiple advisories across the suspension, damping, and braking systems indicate a significant shift from the relatively clean records seen in 2022 and 2023. The appearance of five distinct issues suggests the vehicle is entering a phase where aged components require proactive replacement rather than mere monitoring. At 146,488 miles over nine years, this Peugeot Boxer has averaged approximately 16,000 miles per year, which is consistent with heavy commercial usage. The data shows steady mileage accumulation, with a 6,579-mile interval between March 2025 and March 2026. This high-frequency use explains the accelerated degradation of rubber components and metal surfaces. The lack of long gaps in testing history suggests the vehicle is in regular operation, but the high mileage puts constant strain on the drivetrain and load-bearing assemblies. A buyer must prioritize inspecting the engine bay for fluid leaks, as the record notes a persistent front oil leak dating to 2024 and a coolant leak in 2024. The recurring misting of oil on the nearside rear shock absorber since 2024 indicates the dampers are nearing the end of their life. Furthermore, the offside front lower suspension arm bush flagged in the 2026 test is a point of imminent failure that will affect steering precision if not addressed. The braking system requires close attention due to a history of pitted and scored discs on both front and rear axles, alongside a previous warning of imbalanced brakes in 2020. The 2026 advisory regarding a perishing rear tyre suggests that basic rubber maintenance may be neglected. Given the high mileage, a thorough physical inspection of the structural integrity and chassis corrosion is essential to ensure the heavy-duty use has not compromised the underlying frame.
