2013 Peugeot Boxer 2.2L Diesel · YA13 AOE

The vehicle presents a worsening maintenance trend, characterized by recurring failures in the suspension and braking systems. The most recent test in November 2025 at 199,085 miles resulted in a failure due to critical safety issues including excessive play in the track rod end, severely worn leaf spring shackle pins on both sides, and a parking brake that fell significantly below the required efficiency. This represents a sharp regression from the September 2024 pass, where the parking brake had only barely met the legal threshold. At 199,085 miles over a 13-year period, this Peugeot Boxer has undergone high usage, averaging over 15,000 miles per year. The data shows consistent heavy use, particularly between July 2021 and November 2025, where the vehicle covered approximately 47,000 miles in just four years. This high rate of mileage places significant strain on heavy-duty components, which is evidenced by the frequent need to address shock absorbers, suspension bushes, and braking components that appear to wear out rapidly between annual test intervals. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the rear suspension, as leaf spring bushes and shackle pins have been flagged as excessively worn across 2021 and 2025. The track rod end also shows a recurring failure pattern, noted in early 2024 and failing again in 2025, suggesting a lack of proactive steering geometry maintenance. Furthermore, the parking brake history indicates a chronic issue, failing in 2021 and 2025 and only narrowly passing in 2024, which likely points to worn cables or drums that require immediate professional attention.
