2008 Peugeot Boxer 2.2L Diesel · PX08 DFO

This Peugeot Boxer demonstrates a consistent roadworthiness record, with every MOT test since 2021 passing without defects or advisories. The most recent inspection on 28 October 2025 confirms no outstanding mechanical or structural issues, though the vehicle’s age and mileage necessitate a thorough in-person assessment. The absence of recurring faults in the MOT history suggests previous owners adhered to basic maintenance, but this does not preclude hidden wear—particularly in high-stress components like suspension bushes, drivetrain joints, or corrosion-prone areas. The recorded mileage of 93,662 miles over 18 years equates to approximately 5,200 miles annually, which is unusually low for a vehicle of this age. This suggests prolonged periods of inactivity or limited use, which could accelerate certain forms of degradation, such as dried-out suspension seals, seized wheel bearings, or degraded brake fluid. The regularity of MOT tests—conducted annually without fail—indicates no extended periods of non-compliance, but the low mileage also raises questions about whether critical fluids (e.g., coolant, power steering) have been serviced or replaced according to manufacturer intervals. Given the vehicle’s age, a buyer should prioritise an inspection of suspension components, including coil springs, bushes, and shock absorbers, for signs of fatigue or dry rot. The brakes—particularly rear calipers and discs—should be checked for uneven wear or binding, as low mileage can mask subtle issues until they become critical. Structural integrity, especially under the sills, wheel arches, and rear subframe, warrants scrutiny for corrosion, which may not have been exacerbated by high mileage but could still compromise safety. Finally, the exhaust system should be examined for leaks or rust-through, as emissions compliance was never a concern in these MOTs, and a failing catalytic converter or oxygen sensor could go unnoticed until failure.
