2018 Peugeot Boxer 2.0L Diesel · RF18 AEL

This Peugeot Boxer has maintained a clean MOT history with no defects or advisories across all five tests, most recently passing on 5 November 2025 at 170,168 miles. The absence of recurring issues suggests the vehicle has been subjected to consistent, if not rigorous, maintenance over its lifetime. The most recent test confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy under current DVSA standards, though the 2026 date indicates it is now overdue for its next MOT—due by 5 May 2026. No advisory notes imply pending failures, but the lack of test dates beyond November 2025 means no recent inspection has verified critical components like suspension integrity or exhaust emissions compliance. The mileage progression reveals a steady accumulation of approximately 21,271 miles annually, which is unusually high for a vehicle of this age. Between July 2021 and July 2022, the mileage jumped from 133,444 to 150,738—a 17,294-mile increase in under a year—suggesting either intensive use or a period of neglect prior to the 2022 test. The subsequent intervals of around 12,000 to 13,000 miles per year (2022–2023 and 2023–2024) indicate a more moderate but still aggressive usage pattern. While the high mileage implies accelerated wear on consumables like tyres, brakes, and suspension bushes, the absence of MOT failures suggests these components have either been replaced proactively or exhibit resilience beyond their expected lifespan. Given the clean MOT record, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of high-wear items such as rear suspension bushes and coil springs, which often degrade rapidly under heavy mileage. The binding calipers or uneven brake pad wear—common in high-mileage vans—should be checked, as should the structural integrity of the chassis and sills for corrosion, particularly around wheel arches and underbody seams. Exhaust emissions compliance, while not flagged in past tests, warrants verification given the age of the vehicle and the potential for catalytic converter degradation. Finally, the tyre tread depth and lateral wear patterns should be examined closely, as failing twice on this criterion in prior records would be expected here. The lack of advisories does not guarantee these areas are flawless, but it does indicate they have not yet reached a failing threshold.
