2018 Peugeot Boxer 2.0L Diesel · L90 GAL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. The most recent test in July 2025 at 104,749 miles passed with only a minor advisory for a nail in the nearside rear tyre. This follows a significant failure in July 2024 where multiple mechanical and safety defects were identified. While the vehicle has passed since then, the history suggests that the owner only addresses faults once they cause an MOT failure. At 104,749 miles over eight years, this Peugeot Boxer has averaged approximately 13,000 miles per year. This consistent usage pattern is typical for a commercial vehicle and suggests regular operation under heavy-duty conditions. The data shows steady mileage accumulation, with nearly 12,000 miles covered between the July 2024 and July 2025 tests and another 8,800 miles between 2023 and 2024. This high annual mileage places significant strain on the drivetrain, suspension, and braking systems. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension and braking assembly. The July 2024 failure flagged an excessively worn upper shock bush alongside thin front brake pads and pitted discs. Although these were likely replaced to secure the pass, the high mileage increases the likelihood of play in other suspension bushes or premature wear on the shock absorbers. The previous failure for a sidewall cut and edge wear on the nearside front tyre suggests alignment may be neglected, necessitating a check of the remaining tread depth and uniformity across all tyres.
