2019 Peugeot Boxer 2.0L Diesel · MW68 GGK

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT following a pass on 13 February 2026 at 86,325 miles, but the maintenance trend shows signs of recent deterioration. While the vehicle maintained a clean record from April 2022 through February 2025, the most recent testing cycle in February 2026 involved an initial failure. The tester flagged several consumable and mechanical issues, including a defective nearside front wiper blade, an inoperative rear registration plate lamp, and a side repeater with the incorrect colour. Although these were rectified for the subsequent pass, the emergence of new advisories indicates a shift from a previously fault-free history to one requiring more frequent attention. The mileage accumulation suggests heavy commercial use, averaging approximately 12,000 miles per year. Between February 2025 and February 2026, the odometer increased from 70,915 to 86,325 miles, representing a significant 15,410-mile interval. This high annual mileage explains the sudden appearance of wear-related defects after years of clean certificates. The vehicle's usage pattern aligns with a typical light commercial vehicle, but the rapid increase in distance between tests correlates directly with the onset of mechanical advisories. A prospective buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the front suspension and tyre condition. The February 2026 test recorded both a failed offside front tyre and an advisory for a nearside rear tyre worn close to the legal limit. Furthermore, the tester flagged both front inner suspension component pins or bushes as slightly worn. These suspension components require close monitoring as wear in the bushes can lead to poor handling and uneven tyre degradation. The presence of an oil leak, noted as not excessive in the February 2026 test, warrants a thorough underbody inspection. While the leak did not cause a failure, its emergence alongside suspension wear suggests the vehicle is entering a phase of increased component fatigue. Checking the source of the leak and ensuring the suspension bushes are not excessively degraded will be essential to determining the true remaining service life of these mechanical assemblies.
