2015 Peugeot Boxer 2.2L Diesel · HX65 FYR

The most recent MOT test for this 2015 Peugeot Boxer, conducted on 11 October 2023 at 22,917 miles, confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy with no defects recorded. The test history since 2021 shows a pattern of near-annual failures followed by immediate retests, all of which passed without issue. While the retests are unusual, they do not indicate a worsening mechanical trend—rather, they suggest either administrative oversight or a test centre protocol for minor procedural lapses. The final pass in October 2023, just over two years ago, means the vehicle is now approaching its next MOT due date, which would have fallen on 11 October 2025. Without intervening tests, there is no recent confirmation of critical components like brakes, suspension, or emissions systems, which could degrade even at low mileage if maintenance has been inconsistent. The recorded mileage of 22,917 miles over approximately 11 years—roughly 2,083 miles per annum—is unusually low for a vehicle of this age, particularly given the commercial nature of the Boxer platform. The gap between the 2021 and 2022 tests (19,612 to 21,440 miles) spans 18 months, covering just 1,828 miles, which is stark compared to the subsequent 1,477 miles logged in the following year. This suggests prolonged periods of inactivity, which could accelerate wear on tyres, suspension bushes, and fuel system components due to static loading. The retests in October 2022, occurring within five days of each other, imply either a technical error or a deliberate retest after a minor procedural failure rather than a recurring mechanical issue. Given the lack of defects in the most recent pass, the primary focus for an in-person inspection should centre on components prone to degradation during periods of low usage. The suspension—particularly coil springs, bushes, and dampers—should be examined for dry rot or perished rubber, as static loading can embrittle elastomeric parts. Brake discs and calipers, while not explicitly failed in tests, warrant scrutiny for uneven wear or binding, especially if the vehicle has been stored for extended periods. Tyres, despite the low mileage, should be checked for uneven tread wear or embedded debris, which could indicate improper storage or prolonged immobility. Finally, the fuel system, including injectors and fuel lines, may require attention if the vehicle has been left unused, as stagnant fuel can lead to clogging or corrosion. Structural integrity, particularly around wheel arches and sills, should also be inspected for corrosion, as commercial vehicles are often exposed to harsh conditions.
