2004 Peugeot Boxer 2.2L Diesel · PX04 MLY

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT, but the inspection history reveals a critical deteriorating structural condition. While the vehicle passed the February 2026 test at 82,089 miles, this success followed a major failure just four weeks prior. The transition from structural failures involving significantly reduced strength to a pass suggests that major repairs were recently performed, yet the underlying issue of advanced corrosion across the chassis remains a primary concern. The recurring presence of excessive corrosion on sills, subframes, and suspension mountings indicates a vehicle that is reaching the end of its structural life. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 22-year-old commercial van, averaging approximately 3,731 miles per year. The data shows very little movement between the most recent tests; for instance, between the failure in January 2025 and February 2026, the vehicle covered barely 1,156 miles. This pattern of low usage often correlates with the vehicle sitting for long periods, which explains the advanced state of rust and the perishing of rubber components such as the cracked nearside front tyre noted in the January 2025 failure. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the structural integrity points flagged in the record. Specifically, the inner and outer sills, wheel arches, and suspension mounting areas require close scrutiny to ensure the repairs made after the January 2026 failure are sound and not merely cosmetic. The rear axle and shock absorbers continue to show signs of corrosion that will likely require further attention. Additionally, the front brake discs are noted as pitted and scored, and the exhaust mounting remains defective, suggesting that basic preventative maintenance has been neglected despite the low mileage.
