2006 Peugeot Boxer 2.0L Diesel · SB06 FSD

The roadworthiness of this Peugeot Boxer is currently indeterminate due to a lack of testing for nearly five years. The last recorded test in October 2021 at 106,228 miles resulted in a failure with no specific defects listed, and the vehicle has not undergone a formal MOT since that date. While the prior history shows a pattern of intermittent failures and passes within short intervals, the significant gap in records suggests the vehicle has either sat stationary or operated off-road, making its current mechanical state and safety compliance unreliable. The mileage profile is notably low for a twenty-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,311 miles per year. The data shows a distinct stagnation in usage between September 2019 and October 2020, where the vehicle covered only 4,022 miles over thirteen months, followed by another period of minimal activity. While low mileage generally suggests less wear on the drivetrain and engine components, long periods of inactivity on a commercial van often lead to the degradation of rubber components, such as perished bushes and hoses, as well as surface corrosion or seized brake calipers due to lack of movement. A physical inspection must focus on the structural integrity of the chassis and s pans, as age-related corrosion is common in these models regardless of mileage. The buyer should specifically inspect the suspension system for perished mounts and check the braking system for binding or leaks resulting from long standing periods. Given the history of failures without recorded specific defects, a comprehensive check of the exhaust emissions and the integrity of all fluid lines is necessary to ensure the vehicle has not developed significant mechanical faults during its extended absence from the testing centre.
