2015 Peugeot Boxer 2.2L Diesel · EY15 XHS

The most recent MOT test on August 8, 2025, confirms the vehicle passed without any recorded defects, placing it in a stable roadworthy condition as of that date. However, the history reveals two failed tests at identical mileages in 2023 and 2024—both on August 15 and August 7 respectively—before passing the following day. While the final outcome was always a pass, the repeated failures at the same mileage intervals suggest either a delayed or rushed inspection process rather than a genuine improvement in mechanical condition. The latest test, just under a year ago, remains the most reliable indicator of current compliance, though the pattern of near-failures warrants scrutiny of components prone to gradual deterioration, particularly those tested annually. The recorded mileage of 111,803 miles over approximately 11 years reflects an average of around 10,164 miles annually, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. There are no significant gaps or abrupt spikes in mileage between tests, though the identical mileage figures for the 2023 and 2024 failures—101,838 and 106,405—may imply the vehicle was not driven between tests, or the mileage was reset. This inconsistency could indicate either limited usage or an unreliable odometer, both of which would require verification. The lack of service records or additional maintenance data further complicates assessing long-term care, but the MOT history at least confirms the vehicle has not been driven excessively beyond its expected lifespan. Given the repeated failures at identical mileages, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of the vehicle’s braking system, suspension components, and exhaust emissions. The testers likely flagged binding rear brakes, worn suspension bushes, or failing catalytic converters in previous attempts, as these are common causes of MOT failure without catastrophic structural issues. Corrosion around wheel arches, sills, and the subframe should also be examined, particularly given the vehicle’s age and typical exposure to road salt. The absence of defects in the most recent pass does not guarantee these areas are now sound, so a detailed check of fluid levels (brakes, power steering, coolant) and evidence of leaks would be prudent. The engine bay should be inspected for oil leaks or excessive carbon buildup, while the exhaust system must be checked for rusted or detached sections, as these are frequently overlooked but critical failures.
