2021 Peugeot Boxer 2.2L Diesel · HX21 BYB

The 2021 Peugeot Boxer shows a clean MOT history with no defects or advisories recorded across five tests, including the most recent pass on 28 April 2025—just over three months ago. This suggests the vehicle has maintained consistent roadworthiness, though the absence of any advisories or minor faults could indicate either meticulous maintenance or a lack of pre-MOT attention to wear items. The most concerning anomaly is the duplicate entry for 1 May 2024, where the vehicle appears to have been tested twice at 6,885 miles, yet both records show a pass with no defects. While this may reflect a clerical error or double-testing for a specific reason, it does not imply mechanical issues. The recorded mileage of 9,016 miles over five years—approximately 1,803 miles annually—is unusually low for a vehicle of this age, particularly given the Boxer’s typical use-case as a commercial or utility vehicle. The gaps between tests are also irregular: the largest jump is from 2,270 miles in April 2022 to 4,095 miles in April 2023, a 1,825-mile increase in a year, followed by another significant rise to 6,885 miles by May 2024. Such fluctuations could imply periods of inactivity or limited use, which may have spared some wear items but could also mean components like suspension bushes or coil springs have been under less frequent stress than expected. The lack of advisories or failures does not necessarily correlate with proactive maintenance, however, as some owners defer servicing until just before an MOT. Given the absence of recorded faults, a buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of high-wear areas that are not routinely checked during an MOT. Focus on the suspension—particularly the condition of rear coil springs and bushes, as these are prone to fatigue over time despite low mileage—and verify there is no binding or excessive play in the steering or suspension linkages. The brakes should be examined for uneven wear or corrosion on the calipers and discs, especially if the vehicle has spent extended periods stationary. Structural integrity is also worth assessing, particularly around the wheel arches and sills, where corrosion can develop even with low mileage if the vehicle has been exposed to harsh conditions or stored unsheltered. The dual exhaust system should be checked for leaks or excessive rust, as emissions-related components often go unnoticed until they fail. Finally, the tyre tread depth and uniformity should be verified, as the absence of MOT failures on this front does not guarantee they have been rotated or replaced at appropriate intervals.
