2018 Peugeot Boxer 2.0L Diesel · KX18 EOL

The Peugeot Boxer presents a stable maintenance trend, with the most recent MOT pass recorded on 15 July 2025 at 13,794 miles. That test identified only a minor windscreen defect, suggesting no significant mechanical deterioration has emerged in the last twelve months. The vehicle has consistently passed its annual tests since 2022, and the defect profile remains low-level, indicating a pattern of routine upkeep rather than neglect. The mileage accumulation is notably low for an eight-year-old commercial vehicle. Between the July 2022 test at 5,681 miles and the July 2025 test at 13,794 miles, the vehicle covered approximately 8,113 miles over three years, averaging around 2,704 miles per annum. This is well below typical commercial van usage. Long periods of standing can introduce its own risks, including flat-spotted tyres, brake surface corrosion, and stale fuel system issues, even if the odometer reading suggests minimal wear. Recurring windscreen damage appeared in both the July 2023 and July 2025 tests, flagged under the same defect code for damage not affecting the driver's view. This pattern suggests the vehicle may have been operated on uneven or gravel surfaces, or the windscreen has not been replaced despite repeated stone chips. A buyer should inspect the windscreen carefully for crack propagation, as a minor chip can spread over time and eventually fail the driver's view criterion. The 2022 failure revealed headlamp aim issues on both front lamps and a non-operating 13-pin trailer socket, all of which were rectified before the retest the following day. No further electrical or lighting defects have appeared since. Given the low mileage and clean recent record, the primary area for physical inspection should focus on brake condition, tyre age and sidewall condition, and underbody corrosion, as prolonged standing can cause surface rust on brake discs and exhaust components even when mileage remains minimal.
