2017 Peugeot Boxer 2.0L Diesel · TE55 XAS

A single lingering power‑steering hose seepage flagged in the 2022 MOT is the only blemish on an otherwise spotless record, and the vehicle has subsequently passed two consecutive tests in 2024 and 2026 with no further defects recorded, indicating that the issue has not progressed to a failure point and that overall roadworthiness has been maintained. At 72,191 mi for a 2017 model the average annual accumulation sits around 8,000 mi, which aligns with typical usage for a light‑commercial van. The MOT chronology shows a two‑year gap between the 2022 and 2024 tests, but the mileage logged across that interval is consistent with the average rate, suggesting no periods of extreme low‑use storage or sudden high‑kilometre runs that might hide hidden wear. Consequently, the wear on consumables such as brake pads, clutch components and suspension bushings should be in line with normal expectations for this mileage. When you inspect the vehicle, pay particular attention to the off‑side power‑steering pipe and hose. Look for any fresh fluid deposits around the connection points, feel for a drop in steering assist under normal driving loads, and listen for a whining or groaning noise from the pump that could indicate air ingress or reduced pressure. The off‑side lower windscreen chip should be examined for signs of spreading or water ingress; any moisture inside the cabin or rust developing around the chip’s perimeter would merit prompt repair to prevent corrosion of the roof structure or interior trim. Given the mileage and the clean recent MOTs, the remaining focus should be on standard wear items: check the condition of the brake discs and pads for scoring or excessive wear, verify that the suspension springs and bushings are free of cracks or excessive play, and confirm that tyre tread depth remains within legal limits. A thorough road‑test that includes steady‑state cruising, braking from moderate speed, and a few bumps over uneven surface will reveal any hidden issues before a purchase is finalised.
