2012 Peugeot Boxer 3.0L Diesel · HX62 HCP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT on 19 June 2026 at 100,095 miles. The maintenance trend appears reactive rather than preventative, as evidenced by the recent failure just days prior to the pass. That failure at 100,092 miles involved both nearside and offside rear tyres being over ten years old, which is a significant safety oversight for a minibus. While the most recent test recorded no defects, the history shows a pattern of addressing faults only when they reach the threshold of failure. The mileage accumulation shows a significant shift in usage patterns. Between June 2024 and July 2025, the vehicle covered 40,077 miles, representing a sharp increase compared to the much lower annual averages seen in the preceding years. Prior to this period, the vehicle averaged roughly 4,000 to 5,000 miles per year, but the recent jump suggests a change in purpose or a much heavier workload. This sudden increase in mileage often correlates with accelerated wear on drivetrain and suspension components. A buyer should pay close attention to the braking system and suspension, as these areas show recurring issues. The tester flagged binding brakes in both 2019 and 2025, and the 2024 test identified worn rear brake pads. The suspension history includes a worn nearside front bush in 2023, which warrants a physical inspection for play or noise. Additionally, the repeated failures regarding CV boot integrity and leaking washer pipes suggest that minor mechanical upkeep has been neglected in the past. Given the age of the vehicle and the recent heavy mileage, a thorough inspection of the drivetrain is necessary. The record shows multiple instances of CV joint gaiter damage or split boots, specifically in 2015, 2017, and 2024. While these were resolved, the frequency of these faults indicates a need to check for any remaining grease leakage or play in the driveshafts. Finally, the recent tyre age failures suggest that the owner may not be monitoring consumable replacement schedules closely, so the current condition of all tyres and the battery should be verified.
