2017 Peugeot Boxer 2.0L Diesel · YN67 WFS

This 2017 Peugeot Boxer presents a generally clean roadworthiness profile, with all six recorded MOT tests resulting in a pass and only a handful of minor advisories scattered across the nine-year history. The most recent examination on 21 May 2026 recorded no defects at all, and the previous test in February 2024 was similarly clean. The advisories that have appeared are typical wear-and-tear items rather than structural or safety-critical failures: a tyre wearing on its edge, suspension top mountings on the front struts showing slight wear, rear brake pads thinning, and a registration plate lamp not functioning. None of these escalated into failures, and the pattern does not suggest any chronic or recurring defect category developing across the test record. The recorded mileage of 165,396 miles equates to an average annual accumulation of roughly 18,377 miles per year, which is at the upper end for a vehicle of this age and type. This places the Boxer firmly in commercial or heavy-duty service use territory, with the commensurate expectation that consumables such as brake pads, discs, tyres, and suspension components will have reached or be approaching the end of their service life more than once already. There are notable gaps in the testing history, with no MOT recorded between October 2020 and January 2023, which may indicate a period off the road or a change in usage pattern, though the mileage accumulation between recorded tests appears broadly consistent with the average rate. Given the high overall mileage, mechanical sympathy for the drivetrain, clutch, turbocharger (if diesel), and rear axle should be a priority during any inspection. For a prospective buyer, the advisory items flagged in the 2025 test deserve particular attention on a physical inspection and test drive. The front suspension top mountings on both sides were noted as slightly worn, and on a Boxer these can manifest as knocking or clonking noises over uneven surfaces, vague steering, or visible fluid weeping from the strut bodies if the wear has progressed. A road test should include driving over speed bumps and rough tarmac while listening for any clonking from the front corners, and a visual check of the strut tops for cracking or deformation. The rear brake pads were recorded as wearing thin at the same test, so the buyer should confirm whether they have since been replaced; worn pads on a high-mileage commercial vehicle can lead to scored or warped discs, and any pulsing through the brake pedal or grinding on application should be taken seriously. Tyre wear on the nearside front and offside front edges has been flagged on two separate occasions, which is consistent with the high laden and unladen weight of a large panel van and may indicate misalignment, heavy cornering wear, or simply rapid consumption under commercial use. Uneven shoulder wear can also point to worn lower suspension components such as wishbone bushes, anti-roll bar drop links, or track rod ends, all of which should be physically inspected for play. Finally, while no corrosion advisories have been recorded, a Boxer of this age and mileage is worth checking around the wheel arches, sills, underbody seams, and rear crossmember for any bubbling or surface rust that may not yet have been flagged. A thorough inspection of the load area floor for any structural cracks or repairs is also advisable given the likely commercial history.
