2017 Peugeot Boxer 2.0L Diesel · LO17 XFE

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT following a pass on 2 October 2025 at 140,142 miles. While the most recent result shows no defects, the maintenance trend appears inconsistent. The vehicle failed its inspection just one day prior on 1 October 2025 at 140,110 miles due to a weakened driver's seat belt and low handbrake efficiency. This indicates that while the vehicle is currently roadworthy, the previous owner only addressed critical safety failures immediately before the successful retest. The mileage accumulation is high for a 2017 vehicle, averaging approximately 15,571 miles per year. The records show a steady increase in usage, particularly between the October 2024 test at 134,682 miles and the October 2025 test at 140,142 miles. This consistent high-mileage usage suggests the vehicle has been used regularly for commercial or long-distance purposes. Such usage typically accelerates the wear on suspension components, braking systems, and drivetrain elements. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and the handbrake mechanism. The October 2025 failure regarding low parking brake efficiency, combined with the December 2020 failure for thin offside rear brake pads, suggests the braking components may require close monitoring. The suspension also warrants attention. The tester flagged an excessively worn offside front lower suspension arm ball joint in December 2020 and noted slight play in the nearside front lower suspension arm ball joint in September 2024. The history of an oil leak in December 2020, though described as not excessive at the time, necessitates a careful check of the engine bay for current seepage or staining. Given the high mileage and the specific failures recorded, verifying the condition of the seat belt webbing and the overall integrity of the suspension bushes and ball joints is essential before purchase.
