2006 Peugeot Boxer 2.8L Diesel · GN06 PYV

The vehicle currently stands as roadworthy, but the MOT history reveals a concerning maintenance trend that warrants immediate inspection. The most recent test on 2026-04-08 was passed at 54,575 miles, yet the record shows a significant gap between the 2025-04-02 and 2024-03-22 tests, where the car failed on the same date at 53,903 miles. This indicates that the tester flagged a critical issue on 2025-04-02 that was not addressed during the 2026-04-08 inspection, suggesting a lack of proactive upkeep or a failure to address a repair immediately. The pattern of passing at high mileage followed by a failure at a lower mileage point suggests that the vehicle has not undergone a full preventative maintenance regime since the 2025-04-02 incident, which was likely caused by the windscreen wiper malfunction. The mileage context for this 2006 PEUGEOT BOXER is low for its age, but the accumulated wear on the front tyres and wheel bearings at 53,903 miles on the 2025-04-02 test is substantial. The tester flagged that the offside and nearside front tyres were worn close to the legal limit, and the front wheel bearing was slightly noisy, indicating that the vehicle has suffered from continuous, high-frequency wear on these specific components. The maintenance trend is not stable; it is deteriorating, as evidenced by the gap between the 2025 and 2026 MOTs where the same faults were not corrected, pointing to a potential recurring structural issue or a failure to address the windscreen wiper problem. Given the recurring faults and the significant wear on the front tyres and wheel bearings, a buyer should inspect the vehicle for structural integrity and mechanical wear immediately. The front wheel bearings, which are prone to noise and wear, must be checked for binding or excessive play, and the wheel bolts should be verified for corrosion. Similarly, the windscreen wiper, which failed at 53,903 miles, requires functional testing, and the brake discs must be examined for wear, especially given the history of the windscreen wiper malfunction. The tyre wear is also a major concern, as the tyres are worn close to the legal limit, which could compromise handling and safety.
