2014 Peugeot Boxer 2.2L Diesel · NX14 CXT

The 2014 Peugeot Boxer presents a clean and stable maintenance trend, with the most recent MOT on 4 December 2025 at 24,264 miles passing with zero defects. This is a strong indicator of consistent upkeep. The vehicle has not accumulated any advisories or failures across its recorded tests, suggesting the braking, suspension, lighting, and emissions systems have remained within acceptable tolerances throughout its life. No recurring faults appear in the record, and the trend is firmly stable rather than improving from a poor baseline. The mileage profile is notably low for a vehicle approaching twelve years of age. Between the March 2017 test at 16,202 miles and the August 2021 test at 21,016 miles, the van covered roughly 4,800 miles over four years, averaging just 1,200 miles annually. From August 2021 to May 2024, mileage increased by only 188 miles over nearly three years, indicating prolonged periods of standing. The jump to 24,264 miles by December 2025 represents 3,060 miles in approximately nineteen months, a modest uptick but still well below typical commercial van usage. Such low annual mileage raises the possibility of extended idle periods, which can lead to flat-spotted tyres, stale fuel, moisture ingress in brake fluid, and dried-out rubber seals and bushes that do not get regularly exercised. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection focused on components that deteriorate with age and inactivity rather than mileage. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers should be checked for perishing, cracking, or corrosion, particularly if the vehicle has stood for long intervals. Brake discs, calipers, and flexible hoses merit close attention, as standing vehicles are prone to surface corrosion on discs and seized or binding calipers. The exhaust system and underbody should be inspected for structural rust, especially around mounting points, sills, and cross-members, as corrosion can develop regardless of mileage. Tyre age is equally critical; even with ample tread depth, rubber older than six years can suffer from sidewall cracking and reduced structural integrity. The dual entry for 4 August 2021, showing both a failure and a pass at the identical mileage of 21,016, is unusual but neither entry lists any defects. This likely reflects an administrative anomaly or a retest following a procedural issue rather than a mechanical fault. Overall, the record paints a picture of a lightly used van with no documented mechanical concerns. The primary risk lies not in wear but in age-related deterioration from underuse, making a pre-purchase inspection by a qualified technician a prudent step before committing to the purchase.
