2013 Peugeot Boxer 2.2L Diesel · AU13 ACO

This 2013 Peugeot Boxer has maintained a consistently clean MOT history with no defects or advisories recorded across the last five tests, most recently passing on 22 May 2025 at 44,544 miles. The absence of any recurring issues suggests the vehicle has undergone regular, if not meticulous, servicing, though the lack of advisories does not preclude hidden wear—particularly in high-stress areas like suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake caliper binding points. The most recent test was conducted just over two years ago, which is within the standard MOT cycle but leaves a gap of 14 months since the last inspection. While this is not inherently concerning, it means critical components such as brake fluid condition, steering dampeners, and exhaust system integrity have not been formally verified since May 2025. The recorded mileage of 44,544 miles over 13 years—approximately 3,426 miles annually—indicates unusually light usage for a vehicle of this age. The most significant mileage jump occurred between the March 2023 (40,315 miles) and March 2022 (37,848 miles) tests, a 2,467-mile increase over a year, which may suggest either seasonal use or extended periods of storage. The remaining intervals show minimal mileage accumulation, reinforcing the pattern of low annual mileage. While this typically correlates with reduced wear on consumables like tyres and brake pads, it also raises questions about long-term exposure to environmental factors—such as corrosion from standing in damp conditions—which could affect structural elements like the chassis, subframe, and wheel arches. Given the clean MOT record, a buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of suspension components, particularly the rear suspension bushes and coil springs, as these are common failure points in commercial vans of this age. The absence of advisories does not guarantee these are intact, so visual inspection for cracks, perished rubber, or excessive play in the steering and suspension geometry is essential. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for uneven wear or binding, as the tester’s failure to flag any brake-related issues could indicate either diligent maintenance or a recent replacement. Additionally, the exhaust system, particularly at the rear, warrants scrutiny for corrosion or leaks, while the chassis and wheel arches should be examined for signs of rust penetration, especially if the vehicle has spent extended periods stationary. Tyre tread depth and uniformity should also be verified, as the lack of MOT defects in this area does not account for uneven wear from alignment issues or prolonged underinflation.
