2016 Peugeot Boxer 2.2L Diesel · NX65 DAO

The roadworthiness status of this Peugeot Boxer is currently questionable due to an expired MOT that is over three years old. The most recent test conducted on 23 May 2023 at 142,711 miles resulted in a failure with no specific defects listed in the summary, and no subsequent pass is recorded since that date. While the vehicle previously operated without advisories between 2020 and 2022, the lack of recent certification means the current mechanical integrity and safety status of the van are unknown. The vehicle shows a high mileage profile, averaging approximately 14,200 miles per year over its decade. A significant period of use occurred between March 2020 and April 2021, where the vehicle covered over 20,000 miles in just thirteen months. However, the mileage gap between June 2022 and May 2023 shows only 9,722 miles of travel, followed by the final recorded failure. This usage pattern suggests a heavy commercial application which typically places substantial strain on the drivetrain, suspension components, and braking system of a front-wheel-drive vehicle like the Boxer. A physical inspection must focus on the structural integrity of the chassis and members, as high-mileage commercial vans are prone to corrosion in key stress points. Given the long lapse in MOT testing, the buyer should specifically check for perished rubber components, such as suspension bushes and coil springs which often degrade under heavy loads. The braking system requires immediate scrutiny for binding calipers or thin discs, as the high mileage indicates accelerated wear on these consumables. Testing the exhaust system for leaks or excessive corrosion is also essential to ensure the vehicle has not met emission standards during its period of inactivity.
