1996 PEUGEOT BOXER2.4L Diesel

The Peugeot Boxer presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 30 October 2025 at 57,603 miles returning a clean pass with no defects recorded. Prior tests in November 2024 and November 2023 also passed without advisories, indicating the vehicle has held its condition across the last three examination cycles. The lone blemish is a failed test on 13 November 2023 at 57,056 miles, which the record shows with no defects listed, suggesting an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault, with the vehicle subsequently passing eight days later. At roughly 30 years old the Boxer shows 57,603 miles on the clock, an average of under 1,920 miles per year. The MOT data confirms extremely limited use: between 8 November 2022 (56,379 miles) and 30 October 2025 (57,603 miles) the vehicle covered just 1,224 miles across three years. Annual increments stay below 600 miles throughout the record. Such low accumulation points to long stationary periods, a pattern that often masks perished rubber components and corrosion rather than wear from driving. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers, as these items degrade through age and disuse even when MOT testers log no advisories. Standing vehicles commonly develop binding brakes and flat-spotted tyres; the clean record offers no assurance against such faults. Structural integrity beneath wheel arches and chassis rails warrants close checking for rust given the 1996 build and intermittent use. The absence of recorded defects across five tests implies previous owners kept basic statutory compliance, though the sparse mileage means consumables may be original and brittle. Verify the 2023 failure cause in person despite the no-defect entry, and budget for age-related renewal of flexible lines and exhaust hangers regardless of the favourable paper history.
