2011 Peugeot Boxer 2.2L Diesel · GX11 AEV

This 2011 Peugeot Boxer has demonstrated a stable roadworthiness trend over its recent MOT history, with no defects or advisories recorded in any of the five tests spanning 2022 to 2025. The most recent tests, conducted on the same day in August 2025 at 32,029 miles, were notably unusual—both a pass and a fail were logged without explanation, though the vehicle ultimately passed. This anomaly suggests either a rare administrative error or a minor oversight in the testing process, as no mechanical issues were documented. Beyond this, the vehicle has maintained a clean MOT record, implying consistent compliance with basic roadworthiness standards during its last three annual tests. The recorded mileage of 32,029 miles over nearly 15 years—approximately 2,135 miles annually—is unusually low for a vehicle of this age, particularly given the Boxer’s commercial and utility-focused design. The mileage increments between tests are also consistent and gradual: 1,651 miles between the 2022 and 2023 tests, 1,259 miles between 2023 and 2024, and 1,874 miles between 2024 and 2025. While this suggests either light usage or prolonged periods of storage, the lack of significant mileage spikes also means wear items like brakes, suspension bushes, and tyres may have seen less aggressive deterioration than expected. However, the low mileage does not negate the need for thorough inspection of components that degrade over time regardless of usage, such as corrosion-prone areas and structural integrity. Given the clean MOT history, a prospective buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of high-wear and corrosion-sensitive areas. The suspension system—particularly the rear coil springs and bushes—should be examined for uneven wear or binding, as these components are prone to gradual failure without obvious mileage-related stress. Brake calipers and discs should be checked for uneven wear or binding, especially if the vehicle has been stored for extended periods, as moisture can accelerate corrosion. Structural integrity is another critical factor; the chassis rails, sills, and wheel arches should be scrutinised for rust penetration or distortion, as the Boxer’s commercial build can make it susceptible to hidden corrosion. Finally, the exhaust system and emissions components should be assessed for leaks or damage, as these are often overlooked in low-mileage vehicles but can still pose roadworthiness risks. The August 2025 testing irregularity, while unexplained, warrants confirmation that no unresolved mechanical issues exist.
