2016 Peugeot Boxer 2.0L Diesel · MH16 CFM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive approach to repairs rather than preventative care. While the latest test in August 2025 at 49,591 miles was a pass, it followed a failure just one day prior. That failure revealed critical issues including rear brake pads below the legal limit and a parking brake system that barely met the efficiency threshold. This suggests the previous owner only addressed significant mechanical faults when they posed an immediate threat to the MOT certificate. At 49,591 miles, this ten-year-old Boxer has covered low mileage, averaging approximately 5,000 miles per year. This low usage typically implies less strain on the drivetrain, yet the record shows specific issues related to component aging. Between August 2022 and August 2025, the vehicle covered 17,458 miles, showing consistent usage patterns. The presence of an oil leak near the turbo area in both 2022 and 2023 suggests a slow-developing leak remained unaddressed for several years despite the low mileage between test intervals. A physical inspection must focus heavily on the suspension and braking system. The 2025 record flagged wear in the rear leaf spring shackle pins and both front leaf spring bushes, which are common points of failure on vans that sit for long. The buyer should check for play or perished rubber in these bushes to ensure handling stability. Furthermore, given the history of thin pads and pitted discs, the current state of the braking assembly should be verified for uneven wear or seized calipers. The recurring oil leak noted near the turbo area also warrants a close look to determine if it is a simple seepage or a failing gasket that requires imminent intervention.
