2017 Peugeot Boxer 2.0L Diesel · OV67 NZJ

The vehicle presents a concerning roadworthiness profile with a maintenance trend that appears reactive rather than proactive. While it passed its most recent test in March 2026 at 154,730 miles, this followed a failure just three days prior where the tester identified multiple mechanical defects including a rough offside front wheel bearing, binding rear brakes, and a perished offside rear tyre. The recurrence of brake-related issues suggests that components are only being addressed once they reach a legal failure point rather than being maintained through scheduled preventative care. At 154,730 miles over nine years, this Boxer has averaged approximately 17,200 miles per annum, which indicates heavy commercial use consistent with its age. There is a significant gap in records between the October 2022 test at 151,691 miles and the June 2024 test at 154,629 miles. During this 3,000-mile interval, the vehicle remained relatively clean, yet the high mileage accumulation in the subsequent 24 months leading to 2026 has exposed accelerated wear on the suspension and braking systems. A physical inspection must focus on the suspension and braking assemblies due to recurring failures. The 2024 failure highlighted split wishbone rear bushes and excessively worn offside front arm pins, while the 2026 failure confirmed a wheel bearing was on the verge of total collapse. The history of pitting and corrosion on all four brake discs noted in March 2026, combined with reports of binding rear calipers, indicates a high risk of seized components or uneven pad wear. A buyer should verify the condition of the offside rear tyre, as the previous record flagged heavy sidewall cracking that suggests structural degradation of the rubber.
