2020 Peugeot Boxer 2.2L Diesel · OV70 ABX

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status but the maintenance history reveals a worrying trend of reactive mechanical attention. While it passed the most recent test in January 2026 at 75,380 miles, this followed a significant failure in December 2025. The 2025 failure highlighted critical issues including an inoperative engine management light, a faulty SRS warning lamp, and excessive exhaust emissions. The fact that these electronic and safety faults were addressed recently suggests the owner only performs repairs necessary to pass the MOT rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. At 75,380 miles over six years, this Peugeot Boxer averages approximately 12,500 miles per year, which is consistent with heavy commercial use but places high stress on consumable wear items. The data shows a rapid accumulation of mileage, with 4,500 miles driven between December 2024 and December 2025, and another 4,500 miles in just five months leading up to the January 2026 test. This high usage explains the rapid degradation of the braking system and suspension components which have appeared repeatedly across the last three inspections. A buyer must focus their inspection on the front suspension and braking assembly. The offside front suspension arm ball joint was flagged for play in both 2025 and 2026, indicating a component that was either poorly replaced or is failing again. The parking brake is a recurring point of concern, failing in late 2025 and only barely meeting the efficiency threshold in early 2026, which suggests worn rear shoes or a seizing adjuster mechanism. Furthermore, the persistent front oil leak noted in every test since at least 2024 requires a professional inspection to determine if it is a minor seal leak or a more significant gasket failure that could lead to engine damage.
