2016 Peugeot Boxer 2.2L Diesel · YN16 XMF

Recurring issues with tyre wear and a significant failure regarding rear brake binding define the mechanical history of this vehicle. While the most recent test on 26 January 2026 was completed without defects, the record shows a pattern of rear service brakes binding excessively on both the nearside and offside, which led to a failure in January 2025. This, combined with frequent advisories for tyres worn on the edges across multiple years, suggests a history of inconsistent tyre longevity and braking system instability. The recorded mileage of 101,637 miles represents an average annual accumulation of approximately 10,164 miles, which is typical for a commercial vehicle of this age. This steady usage pattern indicates the drivetrain and chassis have been subjected to consistent operational loads. Given the nature of this vehicle, such mileage typically correlates with expected wear on suspension bushings, brake components, and drivetrain mounts, though the testing intervals have remained relatively consistent since 2019. Particular attention should be paid to the rear braking system during a test drive. Since both rear service brakes were recorded as excessively binding in early 2025, the buyer should check for uneven braking feel or a lack of free-rolling when the vehicle is coasting. Any overheating of the rear hubs or a distinct burning smell after a short drive would indicate that the binding issues persist or have returned. The history of edge wear on the front tyres and the 2024 advisory for play in the offside front suspension arm ball joint necessitate a thorough check of the steering and suspension geometry. During the test drive, listen for knocking or clicking sounds when navigating bumps or turning the steering wheel at low speeds. A visual inspection of the current tyre tread is essential to ensure that the recurring edge wear has been addressed through correct wheel alignment.
