2018 Peugeot Boxer 2.0L Diesel · KT67 RZX

The vehicle remains currently roadworthy, but the most recent inspection indicates a slight decline in maintenance standards. While the Boxer passed four consecutive tests between 2021 and 2024, the June 2025 test at 150,510 miles flagged a defect regarding parking brake efficiency that barely met the legal threshold. This suggests the braking mechanism is reaching the end of its effective life or requires immediate adjustment to prevent an outright failure in the next test. The mileage profile reflects heavy commercial usage for an eight-year-old van, averaging nearly 19,000 miles per year. There is a significant surge in usage between January 2021 and February 2022, where the vehicle covered 36,760 miles in just thirteen months. Since then, the accumulation has remained consistently high, with roughly 12,000 to 15,000 miles added annually. This high-frequency operation places substantial strain on drivetrain components, suspension bushings, and braking hardware compared to a lower-use vehicle. A buyer must prioritize a thorough physical inspection of the braking system, specifically checking the parking brake cables and drums for wear or corrosion, given the recent marginal pass. The high mileage also necessitates a check of the suspension geometry, shock absorbers, and coil springs, as these components fatigue rapidly under heavy loads over long distances. Examine the structural integrity of the chassis for mounting rust, as high-mileage commercial vehicles often suffer from accelerated environmental degradation that may not fully surface in a standard MOT inspection until it becomes critical.
