2002 Peugeot Boxer 2.8L Diesel · WV02 LRO

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a clear trend of deteriorating suspension components and structural concerns. The most recent test in February 2026 at 46,475 miles shows the vehicle passed despite new reports of power steering rack seepage and recurring wear on the anti-roll bar linkages. While the vehicle has passed its tests, the persistence of suspension-related faults across multiple years indicates that rubber bushes and bearing assemblies are reaching the end of their functional life despite the low mileage. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 24-year-old vehicle, recording only 46,475 miles which averages out to approximately 1,900 miles per year. The data shows consistent but slow progression, with only 3,370 miles covered between the February 2025 and February 2026 tests. This low usage suggests the vehicle has sat for long periods or is used sparingly, which in vehicles of this age often leads to the degradation of rubber components and the onset of corrosion, as is evident in the record. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the front suspension and structural integrity. The February 2024 failure due to excessive corrosion on the offside front suspension mounting area is a significant red flag, although the subsequent 2025 test noted the corrosion was not yet considered excessive. Furthermore, the recurring reports of play in the nearside, offside, and nearside rear wheel bearings across both 2024 and 2025 suggest these components have not been replaced. The newly identified seepage from the steering rack in the 2026 test also requires close monitoring to determine if a costly rack replacement is imminent.
