2021 Peugeot Boxer 440 L4 Bluehdi 2.2L Diesel · WF71 AYG

The most recent MOT history for this Peugeot Boxer demonstrates a stable but irregular maintenance pattern, with the vehicle passing its final test on 24 May 2025 at 20,960 miles. The sole failure on 23 May 2025—despite identical mileage—appears anomalous, as no defects were recorded on either attempt, suggesting either a minor administrative oversight or a temporary MOT tester inconsistency. The preceding tests in June 2024 (9,502 miles) and June 2023 (1,963 miles) both passed without fail, indicating no recurring mechanical issues were detected during those intervals. However, the abrupt failure followed by an immediate pass raises cautious questions about whether critical components were overlooked or if the vehicle was briefly out of service for unrelated reasons. Buyers should verify whether the May 2025 failure was due to a procedural error or if the vehicle underwent any unscheduled servicing between tests. The recorded mileage of 20,960 miles over five years—approximately 4,192 miles annually—is unusually low for a vehicle of this age, particularly given the Boxer’s commercial and light-duty usage profile. The gap between the June 2023 (1,963 miles) and June 2024 tests (9,502 miles) suggests a significant period of inactivity, with nearly 7,500 miles accumulated in under a year, followed by another 11,458 miles in the subsequent 12 months before the latest test. This erratic pattern may indicate extended storage periods, possibly affecting components like tyres, suspension seals, and battery health. The lack of advisories or defects across multiple tests implies no obvious neglect, but buyers should scrutinise whether the vehicle was stored on blocks or in a climate-controlled environment during low-mileage periods. Given the sparse MOT record, priority should be given to inspecting high-wear items that are not routinely checked in a basic MOT. The suspension system—particularly coil springs, bushes, and dampers—should be examined for uneven wear or corrosion, especially if the vehicle was stored outdoors. Brake components, including calipers, pads, and discs, warrant close attention, as binding or uneven wear could have been missed in past tests. The exhaust system should be checked for leaks or corrosion, particularly around joints and the catalytic converter, given the BlueHDi engine’s susceptibility to emissions-related faults. Finally, the battery and electrical connections should be tested, as prolonged inactivity can degrade these systems. While the MOT history suggests no major structural failures, a thorough inspection of these areas will confirm whether the vehicle’s low mileage has masked underlying issues.
