2017 Peugeot Boxer 2.2L Diesel · PX17 AEO

This Peugeot Boxer has demonstrated consistent roadworthiness over the past three MOT cycles, with the most recent test on 25 June 2025 confirming no defects at 13,512 miles. The absence of advisories or failings across all tests—including the duplicate entry for June 2023—indicates a stable maintenance history, though the lack of recorded defects does not preclude underlying wear. The vehicle’s compliance with emissions and structural checks suggests no immediate cause for concern, but the 2023 duplicate test raises a minor query about administrative accuracy rather than mechanical condition. The recorded mileage of 13,512 miles over nine years—approximately 1,500 miles annually—is unusually low for a vehicle of this age, particularly given the Boxer’s commercial usage profile. The gap between the 2022 test at 8,716 miles and the 2023 test at 9,783 miles (a 1,067-mile increase in a year) suggests prolonged periods of inactivity, which may have mitigated some wear but could also indicate storage without proper care. The subsequent 1,730-mile jump to 12,783 miles by July 2024 and another 729 miles by June 2025 hints at sporadic rather than consistent use, a pattern that could affect suspension bushings, brake pads, and fuel system integrity if the vehicle was left stationary for extended periods. Given the clean MOT record, a buyer should prioritise an inspection of suspension components—particularly the rear coil springs and bushes—due to the low mileage and potential for degradation from prolonged standing. The brakes, while not flagged, warrant scrutiny for uneven wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle was used intermittently, as moisture and corrosion risks increase in such conditions. Tyre tread depth and lateral wear should also be checked, as the absence of MOT defects could mask gradual degradation over years of light use. Finally, a thorough examination of the underbody for corrosion—particularly around the sills, subframe, and exhaust mounts—is essential, given the Boxer’s susceptibility to rust in wet conditions. The lack of advisories does not guarantee these areas are pristine, so visual and functional inspection is critical.
