2018 Peugeot Boxer 2.0L Diesel · MV18 LDK

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness is currently non-compliant, as the most recent MOT test on 2024-03-23 at 142,125 miles was a failure. This indicates a persistent mechanical issue that has not been resolved, suggesting the maintenance trend is not stable or improving. The failure occurred in the September 2023 test at 129,333 miles, confirming that the engine and drivetrain components have degraded significantly since the previous valid entry. Regarding the mileage pattern, the vehicle exhibits a clear gap in its operational history. It has only passed the MOT three times, with the most recent test occurring three years ago, while the vehicle is approximately eight years old. This age gap implies that the owner may have been absent for extended periods, leading to a rapid accumulation of mileage. The test dates show that the vehicle has been driven for less than three years, which is a significant reduction in operational hours compared to its age, suggesting that the vehicle has been kept in a state of low maintenance or that the owner has been unable to operate it regularly. Given the recurring failure of the nearside rear position lamp and the severe deterioration of the constant velocity boot in the rear drive shaft, a buyer should inspect the vehicle for structural integrity and wear on suspension components, including bushings and springs. The brake disc condition must also be evaluated as the parking brake efficiency has fallen below requirements. If the dealer indicates that these faults are minor consumables that will resolve themselves without further work, the vehicle may be drivable for short distances, but the risk of catastrophic failure increases if the wear continues.
