1998 Peugeot Boxer 2.0L Petrol · R858 BYA

A consistent record of roadworthiness defines this vehicle, with no defects or advisories noted across the majority of its recent testing history, including a clean pass on 29 July 2025. Although a failure was recorded on 7 June 2023, it was rectified and passed twelve days later, and the overall trend remains stable with no recurring mechanical issues flagged by the DVSA. The recorded mileage of 54,599 miles over a 28-year period represents a low annual average of approximately 1,950 miles. This usage pattern indicates that the vehicle has experienced significantly less mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain than is typical for its age, though such low accumulation often correlates with extended periods of inactivity. In the absence of specific MOT failures, the physical inspection should prioritise the condition of rubber components and suspension bushings, which can degrade over time regardless of mileage. During the test drive, listen for knocks or creaks over bumps and feel for any vagueness in the steering, which would suggest that the suspension linkages have perished. Attention should also be paid to the presence of oil misting or leaks around the engine and transmission seals, as these can develop when a vehicle is not used frequently. Verify that the brake pedal provides a consistent response without judder and that there is no evidence of binding calipers, ensuring the braking system is functioning correctly despite the low mileage.
