2015 Peugeot Boxer 2.2L Diesel · CU15 AFN

The most recent MOT test conducted on 19 August 2025 resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. Reviewing the testing history from 2022 through to 2025, the maintenance trend appears exceptionally stable and consistent. The absence of any recorded failures or even minor advisories indicates that the vehicle has maintained a high standard of roadworthiness throughout its recent inspection cycle, suggesting that any mechanical issues have either been proactively addressed or have not yet manifested. The recorded mileage of 12,561 miles is remarkably low for an eleven-year-old Peugeot Boxer, averaging approximately 1,142 miles per year. While this low usage implies minimal wear on the engine, gearbox, and drivetrain, it is a profile that necessitates caution. Such low annual mileage often indicates that the vehicle has spent significant periods stationary, which can lead to different types of mechanical degradation compared to a high-mileage vehicle. The primary concern is not component wear from friction, but rather the effects of long-term standing and infrequent operation. Given the clean MOT record and the low-mileage profile, your physical inspection should focus on age-related deterioration and the consequences of inactivity. Closely examine the tyres for signs of perishing, specifically looking for sidewall cracking or dry rot, and check for flat spotting caused by the vehicle sitting in one position for extended periods. You should also inspect the brake discs for heavy surface corrosion or pitting and ensure the calipers are not binding. During the test drive, pay close attention to any vibrations through the steering or shuddering under braking, which could indicate unevenly corroded discs or tyre deformation. Furthermore, you must verify that the vehicle has been serviced according to the manufacturer's time-based intervals rather than just mileage. Fluids such as engine oil, coolant, and brake fluid degrade over time due to oxidation and moisture absorption, regardless of how few miles are driven. Check the battery health, as long periods of standing can lead to sulphation and reduced reliability. Finally, inspect the underside for any signs of surface corrosion on the chassis or exhaust system, as moisture accumulation in stationary vehicles can accelerate oxidation in these areas.
