2017 Peugeot Boxer 2.0L Diesel · LT67 ASZ

The Peugeot Boxer passed its most recent MOT on 8 August 2025 at 185,564 miles yet the test exposed persistent mechanical wear that signals a slowly degrading maintenance profile. The tester recorded pitting on all four brake discs, marginal parking brake efficiency requiring adjustment, and edge wear on the nearside front tyre. Compared with the 17 August 2024 pass at 173,730 miles where identical disc pitting appeared as advisories, the braking system shows no corrective action and the parking brake now barely meets limits. Oil leakage has featured continuously since June 2023. The overall roadworthiness remains legal but the trend is one of deferred consumable replacement rather than improvement. Lifetime mileage of 185,564 against a 2017 registration equates to roughly 20,600 miles per year, a high figure for a light commercial van. The recorded distances show 145,728 miles in May 2022, 164,027 in June 2023, 173,730 in August 2024 and 185,564 in August 2025. Annual accumulation dropped to around 9,000 to 12,000 miles over the last three test cycles, suggesting the vehicle entered lighter service after heavy early use. No suspicious gaps exist beyond the standard thirteen month MOT interval between spring 2022 and summer 2023. A buyer should physically verify the condition of all brake discs and calipers given the repeated pitting scores and the flagged parking brake weakness that implies worn cables or imbalanced rear brakes. The nearside front shock absorber displayed light oil misting from May 2022 through August 2024 but absent in 2025, so inspect for replacement or concealed leaks. Trace the documented oil leak and the 2023 coolant leak to their sources, as both remain unaddressed in later records. Tyres demand scrutiny: the nearside front shows edge wear and the nearside rear exhibits sidewall cracking. Structural corrosion and chassis integrity were never cited across the five tests, which is favourable for a high mileage Boxer. The recurrent advisories point to an owner who addressed lighting failures promptly in 2024 but deferred brake disc and tyre upkeep. Prospective purchase should hinge on an independent inspection of the braking system and fluid leaks before commitment.
