2010 Peugeot Boxer 2.2L Diesel · SC10 KPV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a concerning downward trend regarding structural integrity. While it passed its latest test in December 2024 at 44,667 miles, the tester noted full underbody corrosion that has not yet compromised structural rigidity. This follows a critical failure in November 2023 where the vehicle was rejected for significant structural strength loss on the sill and rear crossmember. The presence of heavy welding underneath indicates major structural repairs were required to rectify these defects. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a sixteen-year-old van, averaging approximately 2,792 miles per year. The data shows a significant gap between November 2021 at 40,047 miles and November 2022 at 41,237 miles, where only 1,190 miles were covered. This low usage often masks mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, but it frequently correlates with the degradation of rubber components and the acceleration of corrosion, which appears to explain the extensive rust issues identified in the 2023 record. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the chassis to ensure the previous structural welds remain sound and that new corrosion is not developing rapidly. The 2023 failure also highlighted a binding nearside front service brake and an offside front wheel bearing with excessive play, which should be checked for continued wear or poor repair. Given the recorded oil leak in both 2022 and 2023, the engine bay requires an inspection for active leaks that may have been poorly addressed despite the low annual mileage.
