AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle demonstrates a stable and exemplary roadworthiness trend. It passed its most recent MOT on 11 September 2025 at 50,198 miles with no defects recorded. This clean bill of health follows a consistent pattern of first-time passes without any advisories, suggesting a high standard of preventative maintenance or very light duty cycles. The mileage is exceptionally low for an 18 year old commercial vehicle, averaging roughly 2,789 miles per year. Between the July 2022 test at 43,271 miles and the September 2025 test at 50,198 miles, the odometer increased by only 6,927 miles over three years. This confirms the vehicle has spent significant periods stationary or has been used for very short, infrequent journeys. Low mileage on an older Peugeot Boxer often masks risks associated with stagnation rather than wear. A buyer should specifically inspect the brake system for binding calipers or seized sliders, as lack of use often leads to corrosion in these components. Check the condition of the tyre sidewalls for perishing or flat spots, even if the tread remains deep. Inspect the chassis and underbody for structural corrosion, as low-mileage vehicles kept in damp environments can suffer from rust despite the lack of mechanical wear. Verify the integrity of the rubber suspension bushes and coolant hoses, which can crack and harden over eighteen years regardless of the mileage. Finally, ensure the engine oil and filters have been changed regularly, as long intervals between drives can lead to sludge buildup.

Our Verdict

A strong recommendation for a buyer seeking a low-mileage utility vehicle. This 2008 Peugeot Boxer shows a remarkably consistent MOT history with no recorded defects over its most recent five tests.

Given the exceptionally low mileage for an 18-year-old commercial vehicle, your primary focus should be on verifying the service history to ensure the engine has been maintained despite the low usage. Low-mileage diesel engines can sometimes suffer from carbon buildup or issues with the fuel system if they have only been used for short, infrequent trips.

When negotiating, ask for evidence of recent maintenance beyond the MOT, such as oil changes and brake inspections. Because the MOT history shows no recorded defects, the vehicle appears to have been kept in a state that meets minimum legal standards, but a physical inspection of the underside for corrosion is always prudent on a vehicle of this age.

As a 2198cc diesel, running costs will be dictated by the load carried and the nature of the journeys. While fuel economy for the Boxer is generally efficient for its class, diesel prices and tax bands for older commercial vehicles should be factored into your budget.

Insurance groups for these vans vary depending on usage (private vs. commercial), and maintenance costs should be budgeted for wear-and-tear items like tyres and brakes. Given the low mileage, you may find maintenance costs are lower than average, provided the vehicle is not being used for heavy-duty, high-intensity work.

While this specific vehicle has a clean MOT record with no defects, you should remain mindful of common Peugeot Boxer failure points identified in the wider model aggregate data, specifically headlamps, tyres, and windscreen washer systems.

Check the condition of the tyres and the functionality of the lighting system, as these are frequent issues for this model. Additionally, because the mileage is so low (50,198 miles), inspect the rubber components, such as belts and hoses, for signs of age-related perishing which can occur regardless of distance travelled.

This white 2008 Peugeot Boxer, powered by a 2.2L diesel engine, presents with significantly lower-than-average mileage for its age. With only 50,198 miles recorded at its last MOT in September 2025, it has covered far less than the model average of 6,165 miles per year. The MOT record is notably clean, showing no failures or advisories across the five most recent inspections.

The Peugeot Boxer has an average MOT pass rate of 78.0% across the 118,777 vehicles analysed, with common issues relating to lighting and tyres.
