2017 Peugeot Boxer 2.0L Diesel · OU67 MMF

The most recent MOT for this Peugeot Boxer was completed on 21 January 2026, resulting in a pass with no recorded defects. Looking at the broader maintenance history, the vehicle experienced a period of instability between early 2023 and early 2024, characterized by several failures related to tyre legality and lighting components. However, the subsequent clean passes in late 2024 and early 2026 indicate that these issues were addressed, suggesting an improving maintenance trend where the owner is now more proactive in rectifying safety-critical defects. With a recorded mileage of 99,895 miles over approximately nine years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 11,100 miles per year. This level of usage is typical for a light commercial vehicle and suggests a consistent operational life rather than extreme heavy-duty use or prolonged periods of inactivity. This steady mileage profile is generally positive, as it reduces the likelihood of age-related issues such as perished rubber components or seized brake calipers that often accompany vehicles that sit unused, while also avoiding the accelerated mechanical wear associated with very high annual mileage. Despite the recent clean MOT results, the previous history of tyre-related failures, including dangerous defects for both low tread depth and exposed cords, warrants careful inspection. During your test drive, you should closely examine the current condition of all four tyres, checking for adequate tread depth, even wear across the profile, and any signs of sidewall cracking or perishing. Furthermore, because a previous advisory noted thin rear brake pads, you should test the braking performance thoroughly. Listen for any metallic grinding or squealing, and feel for any vibrations or shuddering through the pedal, which could indicate worn discs or binding calipers. Given the vehicle's age and mileage, you should also verify the service history for evidence of major scheduled maintenance, specifically the replacement of the timing belt and water pump, which is critical around this interval. Inspect the exterior lighting and windscreen wiper assembly to ensure the previous major failures have been permanently resolved. Finally, perform a visual check of the chassis and suspension components for signs of excessive corrosion or leaks from the dampers, ensuring the structural integrity and mechanical soundness of the vehicle remain consistent with its recorded usage.
