2016 Peugeot Boxer 2.2L Diesel · LN16 FSE

The vehicle presents a concerning roadworthiness status, as the maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. The most recent test in January 2022 at 264,284 miles resulted in a pass following minor failures regarding the offside headlamp and windscreen washer jets. However, there are no MOT records available for the four years since that date, meaning the vehicle is currently overdue for its annual safety inspection. This significant gap in testing suggests the vehicle may have sat stationary or that the previous owner has neglected basic legal compliance requirements. The mileage profile is exceptionally high for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging over 26,000 miles per year. Between January 2020 and January 2021, the vehicle covered 49,127 miles in a single year, indicating heavy commercial or long-distance transit use. Such rapid mileage accumulation places extreme strain on the drivetrain, suspension, and braking systems. The jump from 220,038 miles in early 2021 to 264,284 miles by the next test confirms this accelerated wear on mechanical components. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension system, specifically the nearside front shock absorber which previously showed signs of misting and limited damping. The 2021 failure for parking brake efficiency also necessitates a detailed check of the brake cables, drums, and adjustment mechanisms to ensure they are not excessively worn or corroded. Given the high mileage and the history of offside rear inner tyres being out of shape, the integrity of the rear axle and bushes should be scrutinized for signs of structural fatigue or uneven wear common on high-mileage vans of this age.
