2013 Peugeot Boxer 2.2L Diesel · AU13 ADO

The 2013 Peugeot Boxer shows a stable roadworthiness trend over the past three MOT cycles, with no defects or advisories recorded in the most recent test on December 2nd, 2025. The vehicle passed cleanly at 39,733 miles, suggesting no immediate mechanical or structural concerns were overlooked by the tester. The absence of recurring faults in the final two tests—December 2024 (38,600 miles) and January 2024 (35,765 miles)—indicates a lack of persistent issues with suspension bushes, coil springs, binding calipers, or exhaust emissions, which are common failure points in this model. The single failure in January 2024 at 35,764 miles was unusually minor, as no defects were logged, which may reflect a procedural oversight rather than a mechanical trend. The recorded mileage of 39,733 miles over nearly 13 years—approximately 3,056 miles annually—is unusually low for a vehicle of this age, suggesting either very light usage or prolonged periods of inactivity. There is a notable gap between the January 2024 failure and the January 2023 pass, where the mileage jumped from 33,237 to 35,764 in just two months, indicating rapid accumulation during that period. This inconsistency could imply either a short-term high-mileage phase or an inaccurate odometer reading, though the latter is less likely given the lack of defects. The most recent MOT, just seven months ago, remains valid, but the low mileage raises questions about whether the vehicle has been stored or used sparingly, which could accelerate wear on fluids, seals, or battery health. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of the suspension components, particularly the rear axle and steering linkages, as these are common wear points in older Boxer models. The lack of advisories does not preclude gradual degradation of bushes or ball joints, so a thorough check for play in the steering or uneven tyre wear would be prudent. The brakes, while not flagged in tests, should be assessed for uneven pad thickness or warped discs, especially if the vehicle has experienced sudden mileage spikes. Corrosion around the wheel arches, sills, and underbody should also be examined, as this model is prone to rust in high-exposure areas. Finally, the battery and fluid levels—particularly coolant and differential oil—should be verified, as low mileage can lead to dried-out or degraded components.
