2016 Peugeot Boxer 2.2L Diesel · SP16 NCU

The vehicle presents a marginal roadworthiness status characterized by a history of reactive maintenance rather than preventative care. While the most recent test in October 2024 at 149,174 miles was a pass, it followed a significant failure just two miles prior. The maintenance trend appears inconsistent, with the owner only addressing critical safety defects after the vehicle failed inspection. The persistence of a non-excessive oil leak across every recorded test since 2022 indicates a chronic issue that has not been professionally diagnosed or rectified. At 149,174 miles over ten years, this Peugeot Boxer has clocked a high mileage averaging approximately 15,000 miles per annum. The data shows a period of heavy use between August 2022 and October 2023, where the vehicle covered over 20,000 miles in just fourteen months. This rapid accumulation places significant strain on heavy-duty components. The gap between the last MOT in October 2024 and the current date means the vehicle is now nearly two years out of test, increasing the risk of undetected component wear or mechanical failure. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension and braking system. The record shows a fractured offside coil spring and a split drive shaft CV boot in 2023, which are common indicators of suspension fatigue on high-mileage vans. The braking system has been a recurring weakness, with failures for thin pads, worn discs, and poor parking brake efficiency noted in both 2023 and 2024. You should check for continued binding calipers and ensure the CV boots have been properly replaced. Given the history of perishing tyres and uneven wear, the overall condition of the rubber components and alignment warrants close scrutiny.
