2002 Peugeot Boxer 1.9L Diesel · AD51 RKX

The Peugeot Boxer presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 24 March 2026 at 45,387 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the four preceding annual tests from March 2023 to March 2025 also passed cleanly. The single failure on 26 March 2025 at 42,404 miles is anomalous: the DVSA entry shows no defects recorded, indicating an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault, immediately followed by a pass on the same day at identical mileage. At roughly 24 years old, the van shows 45,387 recorded miles, an average of about 1,891 miles per year. The odometer climbed from 38,720 miles in March 2023 to 39,984 in March 2024, then 42,404 by March 2025 and 45,387 by March 2026. This is low annual use with no gaps or sudden accumulation, suggesting light duty or prolonged standing rather than hard commercial work. The clean record across all dates implies the previous keeper kept basic consumables and structure within test limits, though sparse advisories mean worn suspension bushes, corroding brake lines, or fatigued coil springs were never formally flagged for monitoring. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the chassis. Low-mileage Boxers of this era commonly develop structural corrosion at the rear spring hangers and sill sections even when MOTs stay clear. The absence of recorded advisories offers no early warning on binding calipers, uneven brake disc wear, or perished rubber mounts. Check the exhaust emissions system and diesel internals given the long idle periods implied by the mileage. Verify tyre sidewall condition and brake flexi-hose integrity, as standing vehicles rot rubber faster than high-mileage ones wear it out.
