2013 Peugeot Boxer 2.2L Diesel · PO13 AFX

The 2013 Peugeot Boxer has maintained a clean MOT history with no defects recorded across all five tests, including the most recent examination on 26 February 2026 at 22,464 miles. This consistency suggests the vehicle has either been well-maintained or subjected to minimal stress, as no advisories or failings have been documented. The absence of recurring issues—such as suspension failures, brake wear advisories, or exhaust leaks—implies that core mechanical components have likely been serviced or replaced proactively. However, the lack of defects does not preclude hidden wear; critical areas like coil springs, steering dampers, and subframe mounts should still be scrutinised, as these often fail without prior warning. The recorded mileage of 22,464 miles over 12 years—approximately 1,728 miles annually—is unusually low for a vehicle of this age, particularly given the Boxer’s commercial use profile. The gap between the 2022 (18,856 miles) and 2024 (19,078 miles) tests indicates a 22-month period with just 222 miles logged, suggesting prolonged inactivity. While low mileage can reduce wear on consumables, it also raises concerns about fluid degradation (hydraulic brakes, power steering, differentials) and potential corrosion from moisture exposure. The most recent MOT, just five months old, does not provide recent evidence of usage, so buyers should verify if the vehicle has been driven regularly or stored. Given the clean MOT record, priority should be given to inspecting components that commonly fail without warning in low-mileage, long-stored vehicles. The suspension’s coil springs and bushes should be checked for fatigue or corrosion, particularly at the subframe mounts, as these are prone to cracking over time. Binding brake calipers or seized wheel bearings—often masked by low usage—must be tested by applying firm pressure to each corner while the vehicle is elevated. Examine the underbody for rust penetration at the sills, rear axle housing, and exhaust manifold, as standing water accelerates deterioration. Finally, the battery and alternator should be tested, as prolonged inactivity can lead to parasitic drain or terminal corrosion. The absence of MOT advisories does not guarantee these areas are sound.
