2016 Peugeot Boxer 2.2L Diesel · RA65 DYB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the history reveals a consistent pattern of reactive rather than proactive maintenance. The most recent MOT test in November 2025 at 110,277 miles passed with no defects, suggesting that the mechanical issues identified in previous years were addressed. However, the trend shows a vehicle that frequently fails its inspections due to neglected consumables and wear-related components, indicating that the owner often only performed repairs when necessitated by a test failure rather than during routine service intervals. The mileage progression is consistent with a ten-year-old van, averaging approximately 11,000 miles per year. The vehicle travelled from 59,006 miles in February 2019 to 110,277 miles by November 2025. This steady usage suggests the engine has been operated regularly, which is generally positive for preventing seals from drying out over long periods. The intervals between tests are stable, with annual inspections maintained at since 2020, providing a clear data set of the vehicle's mechanical condition over its lifetime. A buyer should closely inspect the front suspension and braking system, as suspension arm bushes and ball joints were flagged multiple times between 2021 and 2024. The braking history is particularly noteworthy, with binding calipers, thin pads, and inadequate parking brake efficiency recorded across 2022 and 2024. While the oil leak noted in March 2024 was described as not excessive, a physical inspection is required to ensure this has been properly rectified and does not indicate a developing gasket or seal failure. The record also highlights a history of poor tyre management, with multiple failures for worn edges and structural damage in 2021, 2023, and 2024. The buyer must verify the current condition of all four tyres and check for perishing or uneven wear, which has historically been a recurring issue. Additionally, the water pump area leak identified in March 2022 should be checked for any signs of weeping or residual residue to ensure the cooling system remains integral.
