2017 Peugeot Boxer 2.0L Diesel · RE17 ABN

A recurring pattern of brake system wear and a persistent tyre defect defines the mechanical history of this vehicle. While it has maintained a consistent pass rate across five recorded tests, the inspection on 2026-05-01 highlights a return to brake disc deterioration and a repeat advisory for the nearside rear tyre. This trend suggests that while the vehicle remains roadworthy, certain consumables are reaching the end of their operational life. The recorded mileage of 91,924 miles represents a typical annual accumulation of approximately 10,214 miles over its nine-year age. This steady usage profile suggests a consistent application of the drivetrain and suspension, avoiding the specific degradation risks associated with either extreme high-mileage wear or the deterioration caused by long periods of inactivity. Attention must be paid to the braking system, as front brake discs were flagged as worn in 2022 and have progressed to being pitted or scored by the 2026 test. During a test drive, the driver should feel for any pedal judder or pulsation under braking, which often indicates the scoring and pitting noted in the records. Additionally, any unusual grinding noises or a lack of linear braking response should be monitored, given the previous history of fluctuating service brakes and thinning pads. The nearside rear tyre has been flagged for cracking and perishing in both the 2025 and 2026 tests, indicating that the component has not been replaced despite the repeated advisory. A physical inspection of the sidewalls is necessary to check for deep weather cracking. On the road, any unusual vibrations or a tendency for the vehicle to drift should be monitored, as perishing rubber can compromise the tyre structural integrity.
