2012 Peugeot Boxer 2.2L Diesel · CU12 FMP

The 2012 Peugeot Boxer presents a stable and consistently maintained roadworthiness profile, culminating in a clean pass at its most recent MOT on 11 February 2026 at 17,002 miles. The maintenance trend is entirely stable, with no defects recorded across the last five annual tests. This absence of advisories or failures indicates diligent routine servicing and a lack of recurring mechanical faults over the observed period. The recorded mileage equates to an average annual accumulation of roughly 1,214 miles, which is exceptionally low for a commercial vehicle of this age. Between 2022 and 2023, the van covered just 266 miles, suggesting prolonged periods of static use or highly localized short-distance driving. Subsequent years show slightly higher utilization, with 1,386 miles covered between 2023 and 2024, and 1,376 miles between 2024 and 2025, before a similar 1,377-mile increment in the most recent year. Such low mileage can mask typical wear, as infrequent use often leads to deterioration of rubber components and brake corrosion rather than the friction wear seen in high-mileage commercial operations. Despite the flawless MOT record, the low-mileage profile demands a targeted physical inspection. A buyer should closely examine the condition of the tyres, looking for sidewall cracking and flat spots caused by standing stationary for extended periods. Brake discs and calipers require scrutiny for surface corrosion, a common issue on vehicles that sit idle, which can cause binding or uneven braking not always apparent during a static MOT check. Suspension bushes and coil springs should be inspected for perishing and corrosion, as low-speed, low-mileage driving subjects these components to environmental degradation rather than mechanical fatigue. Finally, the exhaust system and underbody must be checked for structural rust, given the vehicle's age and the potential for moisture accumulation during long periods of inactivity.
