1997 Peugeot Boxer 1.9L Diesel · P350 HES

The Peugeot Boxer displays a stable and clean roadworthiness record, having passed its most recent MOT on 23 June 2025 without any recorded defects. This string of clean passes dating back to July 2022 suggests a vehicle that has been maintained to a consistent standard, with no recurring mechanical or structural failures appearing in the recent history. The single failure recorded on 5 July 2023 appears to be a clerical or administrative anomaly, as it was immediately rectified and passed on the same day without any listed defects. At 64,842 miles over a 29-year lifespan, the vehicle averages approximately 2,236 miles per annum. This low-mileage profile indicates either intermittent use or extended periods of storage. While low mileage often preserves drivetrain components, it can also lead to issues related to inactivity, such as seized brake calipers, perished rubber seals, or fuel system degradation. The lack of advisories in the recent MOT history is encouraging, yet it does not account for components that remain hidden from the standard test, such as internal engine wear or transmission health. Prospective buyers should prioritise a thorough inspection of the vehicle for age-related structural corrosion, particularly along the sills, wheel arches, and chassis rails, which are common weak points for this model. Given the low annual usage, check the condition of all rubber hoses, auxiliary belts, and tyres for signs of dry rot or cracking, as these components often deteriorate due to age rather than mechanical wear. Verify that the brakes operate smoothly and do not show signs of binding, a frequent symptom in vehicles that have spent significant time standing idle.
