2015 Peugeot Boxer 2.2L Diesel · GF15 LJC

The most recent MOT (5 Mar 2026) was a pass, but it highlighted a near‑side rear tyre that is worn to the legal limit and a deformed near‑side integral body structure – although the test noted that structural rigidity is not significantly reduced. The preceding MOT (26 Feb 2026) was a failure, mainly for brake‑related faults: the near‑side front service brake was binding, the near‑side rear parking brake was inoperative, front brake pads were down to the wear indicator, and parking‑brake efficiency was below requirement. The same tyre‑wear and body‑structure notes appeared on the 26 Feb test, showing these issues have persisted. Across the five‑year record a clear pattern emerges: tyre wear on both front and rear wheels repeatedly reaches the legal limit, and brake problems (service‑brake binding, worn pads, parking‑brake failure) recur. In 2025 the vehicle also failed due to front shock‑absorber fluid leaks, and in 2024 there were early signs of suspension arm wear and light oil misting from the front shock. The recurrence of brake and suspension faults, together with the body‑structure deformation, suggests the condition is not improving and may be gradually worsening. At 157,337 mi for a 2015 model the average mileage is about 14,300 mi per year – higher than typical for a van of this age. This level of use points to considerable wear on consumables such as tyres, brakes, and suspension components, and it raises the likelihood of hidden fatigue in the drivetrain or chassis. For a prospective buyer the first checks should be: Inspect all four tyres for tread depth, side‑wall condition and any signs of uneven wear. Replace any tyre that is at or below the legal limit.
