2014 Peugeot Boxer 2.2L Diesel · JB57 BAS

The most recent MOT test conducted on 8 January 2026 resulted in a pass, and the overall maintenance trend for this vehicle is remarkably stable. The history shows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to 2019, with very few advisories recorded over the last seven years. This suggests a vehicle that has been consistently maintained to a high standard or has seen limited duty, indicating a low probability of neglected mechanical failures or systemic structural neglect. The recorded mileage of 74,423 miles over approximately twelve years equates to an average annual usage of roughly 6,202 miles. For a commercial vehicle of this type, this is considered low mileage, which typically implies reduced wear on the engine internals, gearbox, and clutch assembly. However, low-mileage vehicles can sometimes suffer from issues related to inactivity, such as the degradation of rubber components and the accumulation of moisture in the braking system, which requires a more focused physical inspection. The current advisory regarding light oil misting on the offside rear shock absorber indicates the early stages of seal failure. While the component is still functional, oil misting is a precursor to a full leak and a subsequent loss of damping efficiency. On a test drive, the buyer should be alert for any excessive bouncing at the rear of the vehicle or audible knocking sounds when traversing uneven road surfaces. If the vehicle feels unstable or floats during braking and cornering, the shock absorber should be replaced to ensure optimal road holding and tyre contact. Given the vehicle age and low annual mileage, a thorough physical inspection should focus on time-based degradation. Inspect all tyre sidewalls for perishing or hairline cracking, as rubber compounds harden and fail over time regardless of tread depth. The brake discs should be checked for heavy surface corrosion or binding calipers, which are common in vehicles that stand for extended periods. Furthermore, the buyer must verify the service history to ensure that engine oil and brake fluid have been changed according to calendar intervals rather than mileage, and the 12V battery should be tested for health to ensure it has not been depleted by infrequent use.
