2005 Peugeot Boxer 2.0L Diesel · FJ05 FEP

The Peugeot Boxer presents as roadworthy following the most recent test on 10 April 2026 at 47,752 miles, where the tester recorded no defects. The maintenance trend reads as stable across the available history, with every pass showing a clean sheet and no advisories carried forward. A failed test on 9 April 2026 at 47,750 miles is logged with no defects recorded, suggesting an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault, immediately cleared by the next day's pass. Recorded mileage sits at 47,752 against a 2005 build, an average of roughly 2,274 miles per year. The van covered only 1,202 miles between the July 2022 test at 43,550 and the July 2023 pass at 44,197, then 1,881 miles to the August 2024 pass at 46,078, and 1,674 miles to April 2026. Such low annual use over 21 years implies long idle periods, which commonly accelerates perishable deterioration such as tyre sidewall cracking, flat-spotted tyres, and seized brake calipers despite the clean MOT slate. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for corrosion or binding, as the MOT record offers no visibility of latent wear beneath the pass thresholds. Standing time raises the risk of underseal breakdown and structural rust on chassis rails and sills, none of which the tester flagged but which low-mileage vans of this era routinely conceal. Verify the 9 April 2026 failure reason with DVSA, confirm service history, and check for moisture ingress around the cab floor and electrical connectors. The documented history shows diligent test compliance, yet sparse data means previous owners may have addressed faults privately without leaving a paper trail.
