2013 Peugeot Boxer 2.2L Diesel · WA13 ARZ

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a pattern of ignoring minor cosmetic and lighting defects. The most recent test in June 2025 at 16,150 miles passed despite a new advisory regarding a deformed offside integral body structure on the outer rear sill. While the tester noted that structural rigidity is not reduced, the presence of this deformation alongside recurring defective side repeater lenses and mirror damage suggests a reactive approach to repairs, only addressing faults when they prevent a pass. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a thirteen-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 1,242 miles per year. Between May 2021 and June 2025, the vehicle covered only 4,121 miles, indicating long periods of stationary time or infrequent use. While this low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it increases the risk associated with age-related degradation such as perished rubber hoses, dry seals, and potential brake corrosion due to lack of regular use. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the offside rear sill mentioned in the 2025 record to ensure the deformation is not caused by active corrosion or previous impact. The recurring nearside side repeater lens defect, which persisted from 2023 through 2025, indicates a lack of attention to basic exterior maintenance. Given the low usage, the inspector should check the brake discs for pitting and the tyres for flat-spots or age cracking, which are common in vehicles that sit idle for long durations.
