2005 Peugeot Boxer 2.2L Diesel · WF55 MDU

The Peugeot Boxer presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 10 March 2026 at 48,327 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the last three years. The March 2026 test recorded a fail on the same date at identical mileage with no defects listed, followed immediately by a pass, a pattern repeated on 18 March 2025 when a fail at 47,608 miles preceded a pass at 47,610 miles. Such paired fail-pass entries with zero defects recorded suggest administrative or procedural rejections at the test centre rather than mechanical faults. No advisories or defects appear anywhere in the 2024 to 2026 records. The mileage pattern shows very low use for a 21-year-old van. It covered just 1,000 miles between the March 2024 test at 46,608 miles and March 2025, then only 717 miles to March 2026 at 48,327 miles, averaging roughly 2,300 miles per year overall. The sparse, clean history gives little evidence of neglect but equally reveals nothing about component condition beneath the surface. Long idle periods implied by this low annual use often conceal perished rubber suspension bushes, seized brake calipers, and corrosion to structural members not visible during a basic test. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of the rear chassis rails, subframe, and suspension mounting points for rust, as the MOT records flag no corrosion but standing time accelerates it. The brake discs and calipers warrant manual check for binding after storage, and tyres should be examined for sidewall cracking from age rather than wear. The absence of advisories means previous owners likely addressed issues pre-test or the vehicle saw gentle use, but the dual fail-pass anomalies on both 2025 and 2026 dates merit confirmation that no outstanding test refusal exists on the DVSA system.
