2006 Peugeot Boxer 2.8L Diesel · VE02 MCK

The vehicle presents a mixed record, with the most recent test on 2025-07-17 at 43,208 miles passing, followed by a failed test in the same month at 43,004 miles. This indicates a lack of maintenance maintenance history, with no evidence of a consistent, stable trend of minor wear or a clear pattern of worsening issues. The sequence of tests suggests that the mechanical condition has remained largely consistent over the past two years, despite the significant mileage accumulation. Regarding the mileage pattern, the vehicle's age of roughly 20 years combined with only 43,208 miles falls within a very wide range of acceptable conditions for a used Peugeot Boxer. While the low mileage relative to age suggests potential for long-term standing or lighter usage, the absence of any gaps in the MOT history means that the vehicle has not experienced any sudden, catastrophic failure events. The consistent passing of the PASSED test in July 2025, despite the failure in July 2025, indicates that the engine and drivetrain have likely maintained sufficient integrity to withstand the 43,004-mile test. To assess whether the vehicle is roadworthy, the buyer must inspect for structural integrity and mechanical components that have not been adequately maintained. The most critical concern is the exhaust emissions test in the July 2025 test, which failed due to smoke levels significantly exceeding the limit, a condition that requires immediate attention. Additionally, the 2024-06-10 test flagged a nearside front wheel bearing roughness, a symptom that suggests worn bearings or loose hardware, which could lead to premature failure under normal driving conditions. Finally, the 2024-06-11 test noted a cracked tyre, a consumable item that requires replacement if the vehicle is still in service. A thorough inspection should focus on checking the exhaust system, wheel bearings, and tyre condition to determine if these recurring faults constitute an ongoing trend or minor wear.
