2001 Peugeot Boxer 1.9L Diesel · FP51 DWZ

The 2001 Peugeot Boxer currently holds a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT on 22 October 2025 at 132,762 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend, however, presents a confusing picture due to recurring failed tests that paradoxically list no defects. A failure on 29 April 2025 at 132,732 miles and another on 11 December 2023 at 132,288 miles both show zero recorded faults, which is mechanically impossible for a standard MOT failure and suggests either data entry errors, aborted tests, or administrative failures rather than mechanical faults. The vehicle ultimately passes its inspections, indicating no persistent mechanical or structural defects currently exist. The mileage accumulation over the last two years is exceptionally low, pointing to prolonged periods of inactivity. Between the 11 December 2023 test at 132,288 miles and the 22 October 2025 pass at 132,762 miles, the vehicle covered just 474 miles over nearly 22 months. The gap between the 1 May 2024 pass at 132,534 miles and the 29 April 2025 failure at 132,732 miles shows only 198 miles driven in almost a full year. Such minimal usage typically indicates the vehicle has been sitting stationary for extended durations, which introduces its own set of deterioration risks unrelated to wear and tear. Given the extreme low mileage and the likelihood of long stationary periods, a buyer must inspect components that degrade from lack of use rather than high mileage. Tyres will almost certainly suffer from flat-spotting and perished sidewall rubber, requiring close inspection for date codes and cracks. Brake discs will likely exhibit severe surface corrosion from standing, leading to binding calipers and reduced braking efficiency until the rust clears. The fuel system demands scrutiny; old diesel left in the tank can cause waxing and injector issues. Suspension bushes may have perished from constant load without movement, and the chassis and subframes require a thorough check for structural corrosion.
