2014 Peugeot Boxer 2.2L Diesel · FN14 KVW

The 2014 Peugeot Boxer presents a stable and highly favorable maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 25 March 2026 at 56,578 miles with zero defects recorded. This flawless recent outcome indicates the vehicle currently meets all required safety and emissions standards without any advisories. A preceding test on 23 March 2026 at 56,576 miles shows a failed status, yet the record lists no defects, suggesting an aborted test or an administrative anomaly rather than a mechanical failure. The overall trajectory remains decidedly positive, reflecting a van that has required no corrective action across its recent MOT history. The recorded mileage of 56,578 miles over twelve years equates to an average of roughly 4,715 miles per year, which is exceptionally low for a commercial vehicle of this type. Annual increments show consistent but minimal use: 6,563 miles between March 2023 and March 2024, 3,033 miles between March 2024 and March 2025, and 6,435 miles between March 2025 and March 2026. Such low annual accumulation typically points to localized, short-hop usage rather than long-distance hauling. While low mileage reduces wear on consumables like brake discs and tyres, prolonged periods of standing can cause its own issues, such as perished rubber suspension bushes, seized brake calipers, and degraded seals. Given the absence of flagged defects in the MOT record, a buyer's physical inspection should focus on the hidden risks associated with low-mileage, stationary commercial vehicles. Examine the chassis and wheel arches closely for structural corrosion, as short journeys prevent the van from reaching optimal operating temperature, trapping moisture and accelerating rust formation. Check the condition of the tyres for sidewall cracking and flat-spotting, which occurs when a vehicle sits unused for extended periods. Operate the brakes to ensure the calipers are not binding and verify the suspension components for deteriorated rubber bushes. The MOT record proves the van passes statutory requirements, but a hands-on assessment remains essential to confirm the mechanical integrity of a vehicle that has spent much of its life covering very short distances.
