2014 Peugeot Boxer 2.2L Diesel · NX64 ASU

The 2014 Peugeot Boxer has maintained a clean MOT history since its most recent test on 2025-07-23, where it passed without any recorded defects at 207,759 miles. The preceding cycle, however, reveals a concerning pattern: two consecutive failures in July 2024 and July 2023, each followed by a swift pass in the subsequent test. While the vehicle has since passed both its 2024 and 2025 tests, the repeated failures suggest either a narrow margin of compliance or inconsistent maintenance leading up to those dates. The lack of defects in the most recent pass does not negate the need for a thorough inspection of the components that likely caused the earlier failures—most commonly, brake systems, suspension integrity, or exhaust emissions systems in this model. The recorded mileage of 207,759 miles over approximately 12 years indicates an unusually high annual average of around 17,300 miles, far exceeding typical usage patterns for a vehicle of this age. This suggests either heavy commercial use or prolonged periods of neglect between services. The gap between the 2023 failure (205,127 miles) and the 2024 failure (206,291 miles) spans just 164 miles, implying the issue persisted without resolution or that the vehicle was driven until the last possible moment before testing. The subsequent rapid accumulation of 1,145 miles between the 2024 failure and pass—suggesting a rushed or minimal repair—raises questions about the thoroughness of any corrective work. Given the history of failures, a buyer should prioritise an immediate inspection of the brake system, particularly the rear calipers and binding mechanisms, which are frequently cited in Boxer failures. The suspension components—including coil springs, bushes, and shock absorbers—should be examined for wear or corrosion, as these are common failure points in high-mileage vehicles. Corrosion around the wheel arches, subframe, and exhaust system warrants close scrutiny, as does the structural integrity of the chassis, especially if the vehicle has seen wet or salted conditions. The repeated MOT failures also imply that the exhaust emissions system may have been adjusted or tampered with; a full diagnostic check for compliance with current emissions standards is essential. Finally, the tyres should be assessed for uneven wear, which could indicate alignment or suspension issues. Given the high mileage and inconsistent maintenance pattern, no component should be assumed to be in perfect condition.
