2015 Peugeot Boxer 2.2L Diesel · WH05 GGZ

A history of intermittent braking faults and a recent failure for excessive exhaust emissions defines the mechanical record of this vehicle. While it achieved a pass on 2025-12-12, this followed a failure just two days prior due to emissions exceeding manufacturer limits, suggesting a recent decline in engine efficiency or exhaust system integrity. This follows a pattern of periodic mechanical defects, including a 2022 failure for parking brake efficiency and binding service brakes, indicating a trend of recurring issues with the stopping system. The recorded mileage of 91,400 miles over an eleven-year period represents a typical annual accumulation of approximately 8,309 miles. This consistent usage pattern suggests the vehicle has avoided long periods of stagnation, which often leads to seized components, but it has reached a mileage threshold where wear on drivetrain components and consumables becomes more prevalent. Attention should be directed toward the engine and exhaust system given the recent emissions failure and the recorded oil leak. During a test drive, observe for any unusual exhaust smoke or a strong smell of unburnt fuel, and inspect the engine bay and underside for fresh oil residue. The presence of an oil leak, even if noted as not excessive in the December 2025 test, warrants a check for fluid levels and signs of seepage around the gaskets and seals. The braking system requires scrutiny due to previous records of binding calipers and pitted rear discs. Listen for any scraping noises during deceleration and feel for any steering pull or uneven pedal pressure that could indicate recurring caliper issues. Additionally, the physical condition of the windscreen and the central seat belt webbing should be inspected to ensure the minor damage and fraying noted in the latest test are acceptable for the intended use.
