2010 Peugeot Boxer 2.2L Diesel · MX60 BZA

The vehicle presents a concerning roadworthiness profile characterized by a recurring pattern of reactive maintenance rather than preventative care. While the most recent MOT test in September 2023 at 28,296 miles was a pass, it followed a failure just six days prior that revealed multiple safety-critical issues including structural tyre failure, lighting faults, and exhaust misalignment. The trend suggests the vehicle is only serviced when necessary to pass legal inspections, as evidenced by the consistent failure to address basic consumables like bulbs and tyres between test intervals. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 16-year-old van, averaging approximately 1,768 miles per year. There is a significant two-year gap between the 2020 and 2022 tests during which the vehicle covered only 988 miles. This low usage correlates directly with the mechanical degradation noted in the records. The repeated reports of perishing and cracking tyres across all four corners in 2022 and 2023 indicate that the rubber components are failing due to age and long periods of standing rather than tread wear. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of all rubber-based components and the braking-related hardware. The 2020 record flagged pitted and scored brake discs on all wheels, which is a common symptom of low-mileage vehicles where brakes rarely engage to clear surface corrosion. The central exhaust silencer noted in 2023 requires a close look for structural thinning, as corrosion often progresses rapidly to failure. Furthermore, the 2022 failure regarding an inoperative engine management light and SRS warning lamp suggests that electrical faults or sensor issues may have been cleared or bypassed, necessitating a diagnostic scan to ensure no hidden faults remain.
