2016 Peugeot Boxer 335 Professional L3H2HDI Heavy oil · BGZ 4008

As a light commercial vehicle, this Peugeot Boxer falls under standard LCV road tax rates (currently £335 annually for Euro 5/6 vans). Insurance for a large L3H2 panel van will depend heavily on the nature of your business use or private policy, typically falling into middle-tier van insurance groups.

Fuel economy from the HDi diesel unit in an L3H2 configuration typically averages between 30 and 36 mpg under sensible driving conditions. Because replacement parts for the Boxer platform are widely available and shared across Citroën Relay and Fiat Ducato equivalents, routine maintenance items remain relatively affordable. Anticipate an estimated annual running cost in the region of £2,200 to £2,800, based on 8,000 to 10,000 miles per year including VED, insurance, routine servicing, and fuel.

Begin by inspecting the braking system and tyres. With annual mileage sitting below 2,000 miles in recent years, brake discs can develop surface rust or callipers may bind; ensure the handbrake engages firmly and the vehicle brakes in a straight line on a test drive. Check the age codes (DOT stamp) on the tyres, as rubber compounds harden and develop sidewall cracking after 5 to 6 years regardless of remaining tread depth.

Underneath, examine the chassis, sliding door tracks, and rear door hinges for smooth operation and alignment. On the road, listen for any suspension knocks, inspect power steering operation, and verify that the HDi diesel engine pulls smoothly without excess exhaust smoke or hesitation, ensuring the diesel particulate filter (DPF) has not become clogged from short-distance driving.
