N190 BDC MOT History
Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.
5 MOT tests are recorded for this 1996 Peugeot Boxer (N190 BDC) between August 2023 and July 2026.
The record contains 4 passes and 1 failure.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (13 issues), Lighting (9 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (4 issues), Bodywork (3 issues), Suspension (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
In total 43 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.
Recorded failure items include: “Parking brake mechanism/associated mounting prescribed area is excessively corroded cable support bracket area (1.1.21 (”; “Nearside Front Outline marker lamp not working (4.2.1 (a) (ii))”; “Offside Front Outline marker lamp not working (4.2.1 (a) (ii))”.

Our Verdict
Exercise extreme caution. While the mile
The primary concern with this vehicle is structural. The repeated advisories for a 'corroded but not seriously weakened' sub-frame and a 'rusty' rear axle suggest a vehicle prone to oxidation. You should negotiate the price based on the inevitable need for chassis remediation and the replacement of corroded brake hoses and power steering pipes mentioned in the 2026 record.
Verify the service history for the 2.4L diesel engine. While the mileage is low, older diesel engines that have spent long periods stationary can suffer from perished seals and fuel system degradation. Ensure the vehicle has been used regularly enough to maintain engine health.
As an older 2.4L diesel, fuel economy will be significantly lower than modern vans. Maintenance costs are likely to be higher than average due to the age of the vehicle and the need to address the ongoing corrosion issues flagged in the MOT history.
Annual costs will include diesel fuel, commercial vehicle tax, and insurance. Given the likely need for structural repairs and the replacement of wearing parts like wheel bearings, the estimated annual expenditure is relatively high for a vehicle of this value.
A thorough underside inspection is mandatory. Specifically, examine the front sub-frame, rear axle, and suspension components, as these have been flagged as corroded in every MOT since 2023. Pay close attention to the power steering pipes and brake hose ferrules, which have been noted as corroded in the 2025 and 2026 tests.
Check the wheel bearings; the July 2026 MOT recorded 'slight play' in both the nearside front and offside rear bearings. Additionally, test the parking brake thoroughly, as it previously failed in 2024 due to low efficiency and excessive corrosion in the mounting area.
This 1996 white Peugeot Boxer diesel has covered just 55,943 miles, which is significantly below average for a commercial vehicle of this vintage. However, MOT records from 2023 through 2026 consistently highlight corrosion on the sub-frame, rear axle, and suspension components. A 2024 failure specifically cited parking brake efficiency below 50% and excessive corrosion in the cable support bracket area.
The Peugeot Boxer has an average MOT pass rate of 78.2%, with common failures typically relating to headlamps, tyres, and windscreen wipers.
