2008 Peugeot Boxer 2.2L Diesel · AU08 AFY

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition with a remarkably stable maintenance trend over the last three years. The most recent test on 20 April 2026 at 27,820 miles resulted in a clean pass, following a failure just two days prior at 27,817 miles. This brief failure likely represents an administrative error or a minor sensor issue that was rectified immediately, as no specific defects were recorded on the failed certificate. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an 18-year-old van, averaging approximately 1,546 miles per year. Between March 2023 and April 2026, the vehicle covered only 2,989 miles, indicating it is used as a short-distance specialist vehicle or has sat for long periods between MOT tests. While this low usage suggests minimal wear on the engine and drivetrain components, the long intervals between use associated with such low mileage often lead to age-related degradation of rubber-based parts and fluid chemistry. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of components that suffer from age rather than just high mileage. Check for perished dry rot on the suspension bushes, brake lines, and tyre boots, as these crack regardless of distance travelled. The brake discs should be examined for surface corrosion or pitting, which frequently occurs on vehicles that remain stationary. Given the vehicle's age, a thorough look at the chassis for structural integrity and hidden corrosion is also essential, as rust remains the primary risk factor for a Peugeot Boxer of this era.
