2014 Peugeot Boxer 2.2L Diesel · LB05 ACB

The vehicle shows a concerning trend of worsening mechanical and structural condition. While the most recent test on 8 August 2025 at 167,533 miles resulted in a pass, this follows a significant failure just one day prior that flagged multiple serious defects. The 2025 failure included critical issues such as excessive exhaust emissions, a seriously weakened rear brake disc, and structural corrosion on the offside integral body sill that reduced the assembly's rigidity. The fact that the vehicle passed immediately after such a heavy list of failures suggests that major repairs were carried out, but the underlying issues of corrosion and component wear appear to be recurring or escalating. The mileage accumulation is high for a 2014 vehicle, averaging approximately 14,000 miles per year. The records show consistent use, with the mileage increasing from 111,190 in July 2021 to 167,533 in August 2025. This high usage pattern explains the accelerated wear on consumables and suspension components. The data shows a clear shift from relatively clean tests between 2021 and 2023 to a period of frequent failures and advisories starting in 2024. This indicates the vehicle is entering a phase of life where major mechanical and structural components require more frequent and costly intervention. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the chassis and sills to assess the extent of the corrosion. The MOT history shows a persistent issue with the offside outer sill, which was flagged as corroded in both July 2024 and August 2025. The tester specifically noted in the 2025 failure that the sill corrosion had progressed to the point of reducing structural rigidity. Any repair work done to rectify this must be inspected for quality and long-term stability. The suspension and braking systems also require close scrutiny. The record shows repeated failures and advisories regarding shock absorber leaks, worn suspension arm bushes, and inefficient parking brakes. The 2025 test flagged both nearside and offside front suspension arm bushes as excessively worn, alongside a serious fluid leak from the offside front shock absorber. Given the history of binding brakes and weakened discs, a professional inspection of the entire braking system and the integrity of the drivetrain is essential before purchase.
