2013 Peugeot Boxer 2.2L Diesel · YA13 AMX

The vehicle's roadworthiness shows a concerning downward trend in structural integrity and mechanical maintenance. While the 2024 and 2025 tests showed relatively clean records, the most recent testing period in January 2026 reveals significant degradation. The failure on 19 January 2026 at 197,804 miles highlighted severe structural issues, including corrosion to the integral body structure on the nearside front outer wheel arch and the offside front outer sill. Although the vehicle passed a subsequent test on 23 January 2026 at 197,836 miles, the tester downgraded the description of the offside front suspension mounting corrosion from excessive to not considered excessive. This indicates that while the vehicle met the minimum threshold for a pass, it is operating with significant corrosion in critical areas. The mileage profile indicates heavy commercial use, averaging approximately 15,218 miles per year over its 13-year lifespan. The data shows consistent annual accumulation, with the most recent interval between January 2025 and January 2026 seeing an increase of 12,550 miles. This high-mileage usage explains the accelerated wear on consumable components and the emergence of structural fatigue. The record shows a period of stability between 2017 and 2024, but the sudden influx of multiple defects in the 2026 tests suggests the vehicle has reached a stage of significant age-related deterioration. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the chassis and load-bearing components. The 2026 records flag recurring issues with suspension component mountings and structural corrosion near the inner arches and sills. The tester noted corrosion at the offside front suspension mounting and the nearside front strut top. The history also shows a failure regarding parking brake efficiency in January 2026, so the braking system requires a detailed check for binding or mechanical weakness. The presence of a deteriorated passenger door catch and a fractured back door latch pin suggests that secondary fixtures are also failing due to heavy use. Given the reported oil leak in February 2023 and the recent issues with headlamp patterns and levelling devices, the electrical and sealing integrity of the engine bay and lighting clusters should be verified. The transition from a clean record in 2024 to multiple structural advisories in 2026 represents a shift from routine maintenance to a period of significant component failure.
