2012 Peugeot Boxer 2.2L Diesel · YJ62 LGA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, with the most recent MOT on 24 September 2025 at 50,401 miles showing a clean pass with no defects. This follows a period of intermittent minor issues that appear to have been addressed. The maintenance trend shows a transition from various mechanical failures in earlier years to a cleaner record in the most recent inspections, suggesting the vehicle is currently being maintained to a satisfactory standard. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a 2012 vehicle, averaging approximately 3,600 miles per year. The record shows steady, incremental growth from 10,533 miles in November 2014 to 50,401 miles in September 2025. While this low usage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, the long intervals between mileage increases can sometimes lead to secondary issues like perished rubber components or seized calipers. The consistent annual testing indicates the vehicle has remained in regular use despite the low total distance covered. Historical data highlights specific areas of concern regarding the braking and suspension systems. In November 2022 at 45,260 miles, the tester flagged slight binding on both front service brakes. Although the 2025 test was clear, a buyer should inspect the front brake calipers and discs for uneven wear or signs of sticking. The November 2024 test at 48,099 miles identified worn suspension arm pins or bushes on both the nearside and offside front, indicating that the rubber components in the front suspension are reaching the end of their service life. A physical inspection should prioritise the front suspension assembly to ensure the bush issues noted in late 2024 have been fully rectified with new parts rather than just monitored. Given the history of parking brake efficiency failures in 2020 and 2016, the handbrake mechanism and cable tension should be tested thoroughly. Finally, check for any signs of corrosion or perished hoses, which are common in low-mileage vehicles that spend significant time stationary.
