2020 Peugeot Boxer 335 L3 TLL Bluehdi 2.2L Diesel · HX20 AVK

Front suspension wear on both sides is the defining mechanical note on this 2020 Peugeot Boxer, with the January 2026 test passing but recording advisories for worn nearside and offside front suspension arm pins or bushes, described as worn but not resulting in excessive movement. That aside, the record is otherwise unblemished: four tests from July 2023 through January 2026, all passes, with no failures and no other advisories of any kind. The trend is therefore stable rather than deteriorating, though the appearance of symmetrical front bush wear at such low mileage is worth attention, since it suggests the wear may relate as much to age, load, or standing as to distance covered. The recorded mileage of 7,945 miles over roughly six years equates to only about 1,324 miles per year, which is exceptionally low for a large L3 panel van of a type normally worked hard. Tests have been conducted at consistent annual intervals with no significant gaps, so the low accumulation appears genuine rather than the product of a long untested lay-up. Mechanically, this usage pattern means consumables such as brake discs, pads, and tyres will have seen little frictional wear, but light use does not preclude deterioration of rubber components, and the flagged suspension bushes are consistent with that: rubber degrades with time and load cycles regardless of odometer reading. On a test drive, concentrate on the front suspension. Listen for knocks, clonks, or dull thuds from either front corner over speed bumps, potholes, and uneven surfaces, which would indicate the worn bushes have progressed since January. Check for steering vagueness, a tendency to wander or tramline, and any pull under braking, all of which can accompany worn control arm bushes. Uneven front tyre wear, particularly on the inner or outer shoulders, would corroborate suspension geometry being affected. Given the advisory was issued at the "not excessive movement" threshold, a pre-purchase inspection on a ramp to lever the bushes and quantify play would be money well spent. Beyond the front suspension, the record gives little cause for concern: no corrosion advisories on the structure, subframe, or brake pipes, no brake performance issues, and no emissions or lighting defects across four tests. A buyer should still verify that the braking system feels firm and free of judder, since lightly used vans can develop disc surface corrosion between tests, and should confirm the van's service history independently, as the MOT record alone cannot establish how the vehicle has been maintained. Overall this is a clean history with one specific, monitorable wear point rather than any pattern of neglect or recurring failure.
