2018 Peugeot Boxer 2.0L Diesel · RO68 LLF

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 6 January 2026, although the overall maintenance trend suggests a gradual decline in mechanical condition. While the failures have primarily been related to simple consumables such as bulbs, wiper blades, and washer fluid, there is a concerning pattern of recurring advisories. Specifically, issues regarding oil leaks and suspension wear have persisted across multiple test cycles, indicating that these defects are being monitored rather than rectified. With a recorded mileage of 77,811 miles over approximately eight years, the vehicle has averaged nearly 9,726 miles per annum. This is considered typical usage for a Peugeot Boxer of this vintage. This level of mileage is sufficient to cause standard wear and tear on drivetrain components and suspension systems, but it does not suggest the extreme stress associated with high-intensity commercial hauling or the degradation risks associated with prolonged periods of standing. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the recurring advisory for an oil leak, which has been present since at least October 2024. A thorough inspection of the engine bay and the underside of the chassis is required to identify the source of the seepage and determine if it is a minor gasket weep or a more significant leak. During the test drive, the buyer should be alert for any knocking or clunking sounds emanating from the front end, as both the nearside and offside front lower suspension arm pins and bushes are now flagged as worn. This wear typically manifests as vague steering response or instability under braking. Further inspection should focus on the tyres and braking system. Given the history of tyre cuts and edge wear, check all four tyres for irregular wear patterns that may confirm the suspension bush degradation. Additionally, the previous advisory regarding noise from the rear brake drums suggests a need to verify that the rear brakes are not binding or excessively worn. Ensure the service history confirms regular oil changes and filter replacements to mitigate the risks associated with the noted oil leak and general engine longevity.
