2022 Peugeot Boxer 435 Prfessionl L4H2 Bhdi 2.2L Diesel · LS72 JPF

The most recent MOT test on 2025-10-08—just nine months ago—confirms this Peugeot Boxer passed without any defects recorded, despite the unusual dual entry showing both a pass and a fail at the same mileage. This suggests either a rare administrative anomaly or a test centre error, as no mechanical issues were flagged. The absence of advisories or recurring faults in the last test implies the vehicle’s core systems—brakes, suspension, exhaust emissions, and structural integrity—remained compliant at that point. However, the lack of any MOT history prior to 2025 means there is no data to assess whether earlier maintenance was consistent or if any critical components (such as coil springs, steering dampers, or binding calipers) were previously overlooked. The recorded mileage of 28,179 miles over four years equates to approximately 7,045 miles annually, which is within the typical range for a commercial van of this age. There are no gaps or spikes in mileage to suggest prolonged neglect or aggressive usage, though the absence of pre-2025 MOTs prevents confirmation of long-term care. The vehicle’s low mileage relative to its age could indicate lighter commercial use or periods of storage, which may have spared some wear on high-mileage components like suspension bushes or brake discs. Without earlier service records, it remains impossible to determine whether routine maintenance—such as fluid changes, tyre rotations, or brake pad replacements—was adhered to. Given the sparse MOT history, an in-person inspection should prioritise critical wear items that often fail silently or degrade over time. Focus on the suspension, particularly the rear coil springs and bushes, as these are prone to fatigue in vans with uneven loading. Check for uneven tyre wear, which could indicate alignment issues or worn suspension components. The brakes, though not flagged in the last test, should be examined for uneven pad thickness or glazing, as binding calipers or warped discs can develop without immediate MOT failure. Structural corrosion, especially around the wheel arches, sills, and underbody, is another concern given the van’s age, as hidden rust can compromise load-bearing integrity. The absence of advisories in the last test does not guarantee these areas are sound.
