2009 Peugeot Boxer 2.0L Diesel · LM58 ABK

The vehicle presents a concerning roadworthiness profile characterized by a trend of structural degradation and mechanical neglect. While it passed its most recent MOT in December 2023 at 248,601 miles, this followed a significant failure just two weeks prior. That failure highlighted excessive corrosion on both the front and rear suspension mounting areas, which significantly reduced structural strength. Although the subsequent pass indicates a repair was made covered in underseal, the recurring nature of these issues across multiple years suggests that the structural integrity of the chassis is under constant threat from advanced oxidative decay. At 17 years old, the Boxer has covered 248,601 miles, averaging approximately 14,600 miles per year. This high level of usage is consistent with a heavy commercial life cycle, but the data shows an acceleration of faults in later years. Between November 2020 and December 2023, the vehicle covered over 45,000 miles, during which time it suffered multiple failures related to lighting, braking, and structural components. The gap between the last test in December 2023 and the current date of August 2026 means the vehicle is now significantly overdue for its annual inspection, increasing the likelihood that unmonitored wear has accumulated. A buyer must conduct a rigorous underbody inspection focusing specifically on the suspension mounting points to ensure the 2023 repairs are not merely cosmetic masking of deeper corrosion. The history shows persistent issues with the parking brake system, which failed for low efficiency and mechanical restriction in 2020, 2021, and 2023. Additionally, the record of a flashing oil light in 2020 and 2021 suggests potential engine pressure or sensor issues that were never properly addressed. Given the high mileage and the history of track rod end play and shock absorber wear, the entire suspension and drivetrain require a comprehensive mechanical evaluation before any further investment.
