2008 Peugeot Boxer 2.2L Diesel · SH58 EHM

The vehicle is currently road‑worthy, having passed the most recent MOT on 29 January 2024 at 154,181 miles with no recorded defects. After a series of failures in 2015, 2017, 2020 and early 2022, the record shows a clear upward trend in compliance, the last two annual tests (2022‑01‑28 and 2024‑01‑29) both passing without advisories, indicating that the maintenance pattern has stabilised. At 154,181 miles the 2008 Peugeot Boxer has logged roughly 8,600 miles per year, a mileage rate that sits within normal usage for a vehicle of this age. The interval between the 2022‑01‑28 test (133,451 miles) and the 2024‑01‑29 test (154,181 miles) reflects an increase of 20,730 miles over two years, a slightly higher annual average but not excessive for a work‑type van. No large gaps in testing are evident; the MOT history is complete with annual entries, suggesting consistent owner attention to statutory testing. A prospective buyer should focus on the suspension and corrosion points that have recurred. Front lower arm pins and bushes were flagged in 2021 and 2022; confirming they are free of excessive wear and that the shock absorber fluid leak noted in early 2021 has been fully remedied is essential. The near‑side rear outer suspension mounting showed significant corrosion in 2020 and 2021, so visual inspection for rust and structural integrity of the rear sub‑frame is advised. Brake discs were noted as worn and pitted in 2021; measuring disc thickness and checking for scoring will verify remaining life. Tyre tread depth was marginal in 2021 and a rear tyre crack appeared in 2023; a thorough tyre inspection for tread depth and sidewall condition is prudent. Finally, the seat‑belt anchorage corrosion recorded in early 2022 should be examined to ensure the anchorage meets strength requirements. Addressing these areas will confirm that the vehicle’s mechanical condition aligns with its recent MOT pass.
