2016 Peugeot Boxer 2.0L Diesel · SF66 FFS

The 2016 Peugeot Boxer is currently roadworthy, the most recent MOT on 21 March 2026 recording a pass at 39 861 miles with no defects. The maintenance trend is stable and improving; the only recorded failure was an engine MIL inoperative on 6 September 2023 at 25 597 miles, a fault that has not reappeared in the subsequent passes. The pattern shows no recurring mechanical issues, and the vehicle has been cleared for use each year since 2019. Mileage accumulation over the vehicle’s life is modest at roughly 4 000 miles per year, a low figure for a ten‑year‑old commercial chassis. The gap between the September 2023 test and the April 2025 test spans about twenty months, during which mileage rose by 9 293 miles, indicating steady but light usage. Earlier intervals were tighter, suggesting the vehicle was serviced regularly when mileage was lower, and the record remains clean without any major mileage spikes that would hint at heavy duty operation. A buyer should inspect the engine management system for any residual fault codes or MIL illumination, as the 2023 failure could indicate a sensor or actuator issue that may not be immediately apparent. Brake discs and calipers should be examined for corrosion or uneven wear, especially given the low‑mileage profile that can promote rust on moving parts. Suspension bushes and coil springs need checking for cracking or hardening, while tyres should be measured for even tread depth to confirm they have not been stationary for extended periods. The exhaust system and under‑chassis should be inspected for rust perforation, and the offside mirror housing examined for damage noted in 2021. Battery health and the condition of the radiator and cooling hoses are also prudent checks, as low‑use vehicles can develop latent weaknesses. Overall, the MOT history points to a well‑maintained, lightly used van with no persistent mechanical faults. A pre‑purchase inspection focusing on the engine, brakes, suspension, and corrosion will give a buyer confidence in the vehicle’s structural integrity and future reliability.
