2019 Peugeot Boxer 2.0L Diesel · RN19 DFA

Most recent MOT (12 Mar 2026 – 62 661 mi) The test passed, but six items were recorded as advisories or minor defects: the nearside side‑repeaters are discoloured and the lens is missing, the off‑side rear registration‑plate lamp is out, the central rear stop lamp has a partially failed bulb, the off‑side rear tyre has a shallow cut, the nearside rear shock absorber shows light oil misting, and the rear brake pads are wearing thin. None of these items caused a failure, but they indicate wear and a need for attention. Recurring pattern Across the last three years the same groups keep re‑appearing: Braking wear – rear brake pads flagged as “wearing thin” in 2025 and again in 2026; front pads were below 1.5 mm in early 2024. Tyre condition – a deep cut on the nearside rear tyre in 2025 (failed) and a shallow cut on the off‑side rear tyre in 2026, plus front tyres repeatedly close to the legal limit. Lighting & signalling – missing or discoloured indicator lenses, inoperative registration‑plate lamps, and a headlamp failure in early 2025. Suspension oil – light oil misting from the nearside rear shock absorber noted in both 2025 and 2026. These issues have been flagged each year, suggesting a steady level of component wear rather than a sudden deterioration. Trend assessment The overall trend is stable but not improving . The vehicle has moved from outright failures (2024‑2025) to a pass with several advisories in 2026. While no catastrophic safety defect is currently present, the repeated appearance of the same wear‑related items shows that parts are approaching the end of their service life and will need replacement soon.
