2018 Peugeot Boxer 335 Blue HDI 2.0L Diesel · YN67 FSX

The most recent MOT, carried out on 14 December 2023, was recorded as a pass and the preceding test on 19 August 2022 also passed. The only deviation in the short‑term record is the failure logged on 3 December 2023, which, unusually, listed no specific defects. This suggests the failure was likely administrative – perhaps a missed advisory or a paperwork issue – rather than a mechanical fault. Overall the MOT history points to a stable maintenance pattern with no recurring failures or deteriorating items evident from the official records. At 166 437 miles the 2018 Peugeot Boxer has accumulated roughly 20 800 miles per year, considerably above the average for a light commercial vehicle of its age. Such a mileage profile indicates sustained, heavy usage, which accelerates wear on consumables such as brake pads, discs, clutch components, and suspension bushings. The high annual mileage also means the engine and transmission have logged substantial operating hours, increasing the likelihood of oil degradation, timing‑belt or chain wear, and potential fuel‑system deposits. There are no obvious gaps in the recorded mileage, so the vehicle appears to have been in regular service rather than subject to long periods of storage. A prospective buyer should give particular attention to the tyre condition, inspecting tread depth, sidewall integrity and any signs of uneven wear that could betray mis‑alignment or worn suspension components. During a test drive listen for clunking or squeaking over bumps, which may indicate deteriorated front or rear suspension bushes, worn coil springs, or loose steering linkage. Examine the brakes for any pulsation, shudder or excessive pedal travel that could point to warped discs, glazed pads or caliper binding, and verify that the handbrake holds firmly without excessive drag. Check the exhaust system for rusted mounts, cracked pipes or excessive smoke, and look under the vehicle for any oil, coolant or fuel leaks that could signal ageing seals or gasket failure. Given the vehicle’s eight‑year age, time‑based maintenance is as important as mileage‑based wear. Verify the health of the 12 V lead‑acid battery, especially if the van has spent periods idle, and consider a load test. Confirm that the engine oil, coolant, brake fluid and transmission fluid have been changed at the recommended intervals, as these fluids degrade with time even if the vehicle is not driven heavily. Inspect the under‑body for corrosion, particularly around the chassis rails and suspension mounting points, and ensure that any rust is surface‑treated rather than structural. Finally, request a complete service history and look for evidence of regular oil changes, timing‑belt or chain inspections, and any major component replacements that would be expected at this mileage level.
