2021 Peugeot Boxer 435 S L3H2 Bluehdi 2.2L Diesel · YJ21 FNH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on April 20, 2026, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive approach to repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent test resulted in a failure due to an excessively worn offside front lower suspension arm ball joint and an incorrectly aimed offside headlamp. While these issues were rectified to achieve the pass, the recurring nature of mechanical wear suggests that components are only being addressed once they reach the point of legal failure. At 122,248 miles, this five-year-old Peugeot Boxer has covered approximately 24,450 miles per year, which is significantly higher than the average for a commercial vehicle. The data shows heavy usage between tests, particularly the interval between May 2025 and April 2026, where the vehicle clocked over 26,000 miles in under eleven months. This high rate of accumulation puts immense strain on the drivetrain and suspension components. The consistent mileage climb indicates the vehicle was likely used for intensive commercial work rather than sitting for long periods. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension geometry, specifically checking the ball joints, bushings, and control arms for play, as the 2026 failure proves these parts are wearing rapidly. The braking system also requires scrutiny; the record shows binding nearside front brakes in 2023 and thin pads by 2025. An inspector should verify that the calipers are not sticking and that the discs are not excessively thinned from heat cycles. The non-excessive oil leak noted in 2024 at 79,467 miles should be monitored to ensure it has not developed into a significant gasket or seal failure. Given the high mileage and the history of uneven tyre wear in 2023, a professional alignment check is essential to prevent premature replacement of new rubber. The vehicle shows signs of a hard-working life where consumables are being pushed to the end of their service life.
