2019 Peugeot Boxer 335 Blue HDI 2.0L Diesel · YN69 CBX

The most recent MOT test on 2025-06-05 confirms the vehicle passed without defects, though the preceding record reveals a concerning pattern of repeated failures and deferred issues. Between January 2024 and April 2025, the vehicle failed twice—once for electrical faults and misaligned headlamps, the other for critical brake pad wear (below 1.5mm), steering rack play, and widespread tyre degradation. The January 2024 failure alone listed five tyre-related advisories, indicating neglect rather than isolated wear. While the latest pass suggests recent corrections, the history implies inconsistent maintenance, particularly with brakes and tyres, which are high-risk components for safety. Mileage progression suggests moderate usage, averaging around 10,200 miles annually, which aligns with typical wear for a vehicle of this age. However, the gap between the January 2024 failures (51,855 miles) and the January 2023 pass (40,754 miles) spans 11 months with no intervening tests—a red flag for potential undocumented repairs or prolonged neglect. The sudden jump from 66,871 to 71,401 miles between April and June 2025, despite a failed test in between, further raises suspicion of either accelerated driving or deferred maintenance until the last possible moment. A prospective buyer must prioritise an independent inspection of the braking system, particularly the rear pads and calipers, given the repeated 2024 failure for pads below the legal threshold. The steering rack play noted in two separate tests (January 2024 and January 2023) warrants immediate assessment for excessive wear or fluid leaks, as this can compromise handling. Tyres show a history of cracking and uneven wear, so check for perishing sidewalls, residual tread depth, and signs of patchwork repairs. The electrical faults from 2024—headlamp misalignment and inoperative lamps—should also be verified, as these can indicate poor wiring or bulb replacements. Structural components like the windscreen and rear tyres were flagged for damage, so inspect for hidden corrosion or improper repairs that could compromise structural integrity.
