2012 PEUGEOT BOXER2.2L Diesel

This Peugeot Boxer has maintained a consistent MOT history with no defects recorded across five consecutive tests, including the most recent pass on 29 April 2025. The absence of advisories or failures suggests the vehicle has undergone regular, if not meticulous, servicing, though the record does not reveal whether routine maintenance—such as fluid changes, suspension servicing, or brake inspections—was conducted between tests. The most recent test occurred just over three months ago, which is within the acceptable window for a vehicle of this age, though it falls slightly outside the optimal six-month interval for thorough pre-MOT checks. The lack of any recurring issues implies no obvious pattern of neglect, but the record does not provide insight into wear items like brake pads, tyres, or suspension bushes, which are not MOT-tested unless they fail. The recorded mileage of 28,733 miles over 14 years equates to an average of approximately 2,052 miles annually, a figure significantly lower than the UK average for a vehicle of this age. This suggests the Boxer has either been used for light commercial or occasional personal transport, or it has spent extended periods stationary. Notably, there is a 17-month gap between the 2022 and 2023 MOT tests, during which the mileage only increased by 1,853 miles—a trend that could indicate prolonged inactivity. While low mileage generally correlates with reduced wear on high-stress components like the engine or transmission, it may also mean deferred maintenance, particularly for items not directly tied to MOT failure criteria, such as rust development or gradual suspension degradation. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of components not routinely tested, such as the suspension system—particularly the bushes and coil springs—for signs of dry rot or excessive play. The brakes, though never failed, warrant scrutiny for uneven wear or binding calipers, as the Boxer’s heavy-duty nature may accelerate pad and disc degradation even at low mileage. Corrosion is another critical factor; the underbody, wheel arches, and subframe should be examined for pitting or structural weakening, especially if the vehicle has spent time off-road or in salted environments. Finally, the exhaust system should be checked for leaks or cracks, as catalytic converter failure is a common late-stage issue in diesel vehicles of this era, and the MOT record does not confirm its current functionality.
