2016 Peugeot Boxer 2.2L Diesel · LN16 FSZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive approach to repairs rather than proactive prevention. While the most recent test in January 2026 at 182,067 miles passed, the tester identified new faults including a damaged nearside front track rod end joint and a severely deteriorated offside front inner drive shaft CV boot. This represents a recurring issue, as the offside front drive shaft boot was also flagged during the December 2024 test, suggesting that components are only addressed after failing an MOT test. The vehicle shows high usage, averaging approximately 18,200 miles per year over its ten-year lifespan, which is consistent with a commercial Peugeot Boxer. Between the December 2024 and January 2026 tests, the vehicle covered 10,308 miles in just thirteen months. This high rate of mileage accumulation places significant strain on the drivetrain, suspension components, and braking system. The consistent interval between tests suggests the vehicle is used regularly for long-distance work, which typically accelerates the wear on rubber components and heavy-duty hardware. A physical inspection must focus heavily on the front end geometry and drivetrain integrity. The repeated failure of the CV boot and the recent damage to the track rod end point to aging suspension and steering components reaching the end of life. A buyer should check for grease leakage from the drive shaft joints and test for play in the steering linkage to avoid further mechanical failures. Given the high mileage, the condition of the suspension bushes and the state of the brake calipers are critical, as the MOT record does not provide data on the remaining life of these vital components beyond basic operational checks.
