2014 Peugeot Boxer 2.2L Diesel · MX64 YVL

The most recent MOT on 2025-10-28 showed a pass , but a failed test just one day earlier revealed multiple defects . These included wear on the front brake pads , rear brake pad wear , perishing tyres , and excessive wear on suspension bushes . The offside front shock absorber had a serious fluid leak in an earlier failed test, indicating potential suspension degradation. A recurring pattern of wear on suspension components (bushes, shock absorbers) and brake pad wear is evident. The rear tyres showed perishing in 2025, likely due to age or storage, while front brake pads have been flagged multiple times. Suspension bush wear was noted in 2024 and 2025, suggesting ongoing issues that may worsen without maintenance. The trend shows no clear improvement , with defects reoccurring or escalating. The 2025 failed test included more severe issues than earlier entries, such as a serious fluid leak and tyre perishing , implying potential deterioration. However, the 12-year-old vehicle with 128,314 miles (roughly 10,693 miles per year) falls within a typical range for its age, making it difficult to determine if the wear stems from heavy use or prolonged inactivity. The mileage suggests average usage, but very low mileage could indicate periods of inactivity, which might accelerate corrosion or rubber component degradation (e.g., tyres, wiper blades).
