2016 Peugeot Boxer 2.2L Diesel · WA66 AVM

This Peugeot Boxer has maintained a consistent MOT pass record with no defects recorded across five consecutive tests, most recently passing on 4 November 2025 at 24,442 miles. The absence of advisories or failings suggests the vehicle has not experienced recurring mechanical issues requiring attention during the tester’s assessment of critical systems—brakes, suspension, steering, exhaust emissions, and structural integrity. However, the most recent test occurred just eight months ago, which is acceptable but not ideal for a vehicle of this age, given the potential for wear to develop between tests. The lack of any advisory notes implies either thorough maintenance by previous owners or that minor issues were addressed privately without escalating to MOT-level concerns. The recorded mileage of 24,442 miles over a decade—roughly 2,444 miles per year—indicates unusually light usage for a vehicle of this age. There are no gaps in MOT testing, with each test occurring within a few days of the previous one’s anniversary, suggesting consistent compliance with legal requirements. The steady accumulation of mileage without spikes or prolonged periods of inactivity also implies the vehicle has not been subjected to harsh conditions or prolonged storage, which could accelerate wear on components like suspension bushes or fuel systems. However, low mileage alone does not preclude the need for inspection of high-wear items such as brake pads, tyres, or fluid levels, as these degrade over time regardless of distance travelled. Given the clean MOT history, the primary focus for an in-person inspection should centre on suspension components, particularly the condition of coil springs, bushes, and shock absorbers, which may exhibit fatigue even with low mileage. The brakes, while not flagged in tests, warrant close examination for uneven wear, binding calipers, or corrosion on the rear discs—common issues in older vehicles with inconsistent usage. Tyre tread depth and lateral wear patterns should also be checked, as the absence of MOT failings does not guarantee they have been regularly rotated or replaced. Finally, inspect the underbody for signs of corrosion, particularly around wheel arches and the sills, as this van model is prone to rust in these areas, even with low mileage. A thorough check of fluid levels (brake, power steering, coolant) and hoses would further confirm whether maintenance has been consistently applied.
