2011 Peugeot Boxer 2.2L Diesel · NX11 EEH

A pattern of intermittent electrical faults and historical braking and cooling system issues defines the mechanical profile of this Peugeot Boxer, though the record shows a recent trend toward cleaner results. While the most recent test on 28 July 2026 resulted in a pass with no defects, the vehicle has experienced recurring failures related to the registration plate lamp in 2024 and 2025. This follows a period in 2022 where the MOT record was heavily populated with advisories concerning brake fluctuations and a coolant leak, suggesting that while the vehicle is currently presenting without recorded defects, it has a history of component wear in the braking and thermal management systems. The vehicle has covered 44,190 miles over approximately 15 years, which equates to a low annual average of roughly 2,946 miles. This usage profile is significantly below the typical mileage expected for a commercial vehicle of this age and type. Such low annual accumulation can imply lighter duty cycles, but it also carries the risk of components such as seals, hoses, and suspension bushes ageing due to time rather than mechanical wear. The lack of high-mileage drivetrain stress is balanced against the potential for fluid degradation or rubber perishing resulting from infrequent use. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the braking system during a test drive, given the 2022 advisories for front and rear brake fluctuations and a binding nearside rear brake. During operation, listen for any rhythmic clicking or grinding from the rear wheels and feel for any pedal judder or pulsation when applying the brakes at varying speeds. The previous advisory regarding a coolant leak and low coolant levels also warrants a physical inspection of the engine bay for dried residue around hose connections or the radiator, and the engine should be monitored for any signs of temperature instability during a prolonged run. The recurring advisories regarding a discoloured nearside rear direction indicator suggest a history of minor exterior degradation that should be checked for lens integrity and light output. Although the electrical failures regarding the registration plate lamp were resolved following the 2024 and 2025 failures, a thorough check of all exterior lighting and the integrity of the wiring looms is advisable to ensure no further intermittent electrical issues persist. Given the low mileage, also inspect the condition of the tyres and suspension components for any signs of age-related cracking or perishing that may not be apparent through mileage alone.
