PEUGEOT BOXER2020 · 2.2L Diesel

The Peugeot Boxer presents a clean MOT history with no defects recorded across its four most recent tests, including the latest pass on 6 October 2025 at 11,612 miles. This consistency suggests stable mechanical integrity and adherence to basic roadworthiness standards. The only irregularity is the duplicate entry for 17 October 2023—one pass and one fail at identical mileage—likely a clerical error rather than a genuine issue. No advisories or recurring faults appear, indicating no patterns of neglect or escalating wear. For a vehicle of this age and mileage, the absence of defects is unusually positive, though the low annual mileage (around 1,935 miles) may mask latent issues that only emerge under heavier use. The Boxer’s mileage accumulation is unusually low for its age, averaging just 1,935 miles per year since 2020. This suggests either infrequent use or prolonged periods of inactivity, which can accelerate corrosion and fluid degradation even if mechanical components remain serviceable. The gap between the 2023 and 2024 tests (roughly 1,900 miles over 12 months) aligns with this trend, while the final 4,459 miles covered between October 2024 and October 2025 indicate a slight uptick in activity. Such low mileage reduces wear on consumables like tyres and brakes, but it also means suspension bushes, coil springs, and hydraulic systems may not have been stressed enough to reveal potential fatigue. The lack of advisories in any test reinforces that no components were bordering on failure—though this could also imply deferred maintenance rather than proactive care. Given the clean MOT record, a buyer should still verify critical areas in person. Focus on the suspension—check for worn or cracked bushes, sagging coil springs, or uneven tyre wear, which could indicate misalignment or uneven loading. Inspect the brake system thoroughly: binding calipers, uneven disc thickness, or fluid leaks would contradict the MOT’s defect-free status. Structural integrity is less of a concern with this mileage, but examine wheel arches, sills, and underbody for surface corrosion, particularly if the vehicle has spent time in damp or salty conditions. Finally, confirm fluid levels (brakes, power steering, coolant) and test all lights, as these are common omissions in MOTs but critical for safety. The absence of recorded faults is encouraging, but the low mileage history means some components may not have been fully tested under real-world conditions.
