2012 Peugeot Boxer 2.2L Diesel · XH08 BOX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent MOT results. The May 2026 test at 143,112 miles returned a clean pass with no defects recorded, indicating that previous mechanical issues have been addressed. This follows two consecutive clean passes in July 2024 and March 2023, suggesting a period of consistent maintenance and reliable operation over the last three years. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a vehicle of this age. The recorded 143,112 miles represent an average of approximately 10,222 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a commercial van. The data shows steady progression, with the vehicle covering roughly 1,000 miles between the March 2023 and July 2024 tests, and a more significant jump of 7,346 miles between July 2024 and the May 2026 test. This pattern suggests regular use rather than long periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus on the suspension and engine integrity during a physical inspection. The March 2022 failure highlighted significant wear in the nearside and offside rear leaf spring shackle pins and bushes. While the subsequent pass suggests these components were replaced or repaired, a thorough check of the rear suspension for play or noise is necessary. The record also flagged a non-excessive oil leak in both the March and March 2022 tests. Although this did not cause a failure, the presence of a persistent leak warrants a close inspection of the engine seals and sump to ensure it has not worsened or led to oil contamination of other components. The history also shows a tendency for consumables like tyres to reach legal limits, as seen in the March 2022 advisories. While the recent tests show no such issues, checking the remaining tread depth and evenness of wear across all four tyres is a sensible precaution to confirm the current owner maintains basic upkeep.
