2001 Peugeot Boxer 1.9L Diesel · Y826 COT

The roadworthiness status of this Peugeot Boxer is exceptionally strong, displaying a stable and clean maintenance trend capped by a straightforward pass on 28 April 2025 at 48,978 miles. The historical record shows zero advisory items or failure points across the consecutive passes recorded on 09 May 2023, 08 May 2024, and the aforementioned 2025 test. An isolated failure on 27 April 2022 immediately preceded a same-day pass, which indicates a minor administrative or easily rectified administrative hiccup rather than a deep-seated mechanical failure. With roughly 48,978 miles accumulated over its 25-year lifespan, the vehicle averages under 2,000 miles annually, pointing toward prolonged periods of low usage or long-term storage. The test frequency is regular on an annual basis, though the sparse advisory notes suggest previous keepers addressed maintenance proactively or the vehicle simply covered negligible distance between appointments. Low mileage on a commercial chassis of this vintage warrants careful scrutiny regarding perishable rubber components, potential flat-spotting on tyres, and seized ancillary mechanisms from inactivity. A physical inspection must prioritize the structural integrity of the chassis and underbody, as light use combined with age frequently conceals frame corrosion in Boxer models of this era. Check the condition of the brake discs and calipers for surface rust or binding due to infrequent deployment, and examine all suspension bushes, leaf springs, and steering joints for perished rubber. Verify the operation of the engine and drivetrain components to ensure that low-mileage idleness has not resulted in degraded seals or fluid leaks.
