2006 Peugeot Boxer 2.8L Diesel · WA06 AZB

This Peugeot Boxer presents a stable roadworthiness record in its most recent MOT history, with the November 2025 test at 40,990 miles showing no defects—a clean pass following a brief but unremarkable sequence of retests. The absence of advisories or failures in the last two successful tests suggests the vehicle has been maintained to meet basic legal standards, though the repeated retests in November 2023 and 2024 (both at identical mileages of 38,442 and 39,937) imply administrative delays rather than mechanical issues. No recurring faults appear in the provided data, which is unusual for a vehicle of this age and mileage, though the lack of defects could also reflect a history of minimal use rather than rigorous maintenance. The mileage progression is exceptionally low for a 20-year-old vehicle, averaging just over 2,000 miles per year—a figure more typical of a lightly used fleet or occasional-use vehicle than a privately driven daily runner. The gap between the 2023 and 2024 tests (approximately 1,500 miles over 12 months) and the near-stagnant mileage between the 2024 and 2025 entries (only 1,053 miles in a year) strongly suggest periods of inactivity or very limited use. Such low annual mileage reduces wear on consumables like tyres and brakes but does not eliminate the need for proactive checks, particularly in components prone to corrosion or seal degradation over time. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should still prioritise a thorough inspection of areas typically overlooked in low-mileage vehicles. Pay particular attention to the suspension—check for degraded bushes, worn coil springs, or uneven ride height, as these can deteriorate even with minimal use due to age-related material fatigue. The brake system, including calipers, discs, and hydraulic lines, should be assessed for binding or corrosion, especially if the vehicle has spent time in damp or salty conditions. Structural integrity is another critical focus: inspect for surface rust along the sills, wheel arches, and underbody, as well as any signs of past repairs to the chassis or body panels. While the MOT record offers no red flags, these components are the most likely to reveal deferred maintenance in a vehicle with such low annual mileage.
