2015 Peugeot Boxer 2.2L Diesel · LK15 AEM

The 2015 Peugeot Boxer has demonstrated a stable yet unusual maintenance pattern, with the most recent MOT test occurring just eight months ago on 15 September 2025. Despite two separate tests at 28,309 miles—one passing and one failing—no defects were recorded, which suggests either an exceptionally thorough inspection process or a vehicle that has consistently met minimum roadworthiness standards without major issues. The absence of advisories or recurring faults implies no obvious mechanical degradation, though the dual testing at the same mileage is anomalous and warrants further clarification from the seller regarding the reason for the retest. The vehicle’s most recent compliance date is still valid, but the lack of any recorded defects over the past two test cycles does not indicate worsening or improving conditions—only that it has passed without incident. The recorded mileage of 28,309 miles over approximately 11 years equates to an average of around 2,574 miles per year, which is unusually low for a vehicle of this age. This suggests either very light usage, prolonged periods of inactivity, or potential mileage manipulation. The gaps between tests are consistent, with each MOT occurring annually around September, but the jump from 19,828 miles in September 2023 to 23,440 miles in September 2024—a 3,612-mile increase—followed by another 4,869 miles to 28,309 miles in 2025, does not align with typical wear patterns for a vehicle of this type. Such low mileage could mean deferred maintenance, as components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers may not have undergone the usual stress of higher mileage, but it also raises questions about the vehicle’s storage conditions and whether critical fluids (e.g., brake fluid, coolant) have been properly serviced. Given the lack of recorded defects, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of high-wear items that are not routinely checked in MOT tests. Focus on the suspension system—particularly the condition of rear suspension bushes and coil springs, which are prone to fatigue over time—even if mileage is low. The brakes, while not flagged in MOTs, should be assessed for uneven wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has spent extended periods stationary. Examine the underbody for corrosion, particularly around the sills, wheel arches, and exhaust system, as rust can compromise structural integrity without being immediately visible. Finally, verify the integrity of the exhaust emissions system, as older diesel vehicles like this often develop leaks or catalytic converter issues that may not surface until under load. The absence of advisories in past tests does not guarantee these areas are flawless, so a thorough mechanical examination is essential.
