2012 Peugeot Boxer 2.2L Diesel · WA62 GKL

The 2012 Peugeot Boxer presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass at its most recent MOT on 18 November 2025 at 90,086 miles. The DVSA record contains a clerical anomaly on that same date, listing both a pass and a fail at identical mileage with no defects recorded for either. Disregarding this administrative discrepancy, the vehicle has passed its last four annual inspections without a single advisory or defect, indicating consistent mechanical upkeep and a resolving trend of any prior issues. The mileage accumulation reveals a distinct shift in usage patterns over the vehicle's fourteen-year lifespan. While the lifetime average sits at roughly 6,435 miles per year, the recent three-year interval tells a different story. Between the November 2022 test at 81,638 miles and the November 2025 test at 90,086 miles, the Boxer covered just 8,448 miles, averaging only 2,816 miles annually. This suggests the van has transitioned from regular commercial use to lighter, possibly sporadic duties, which typically reduces wear on consumables like brake discs and suspension components but can introduce issues related to long periods of standing. Given the absence of recurring mechanical faults in the official record, a buyer's physical inspection should focus on the structural integrity and condition of the chassis, a common vulnerability for the Boxer platform. Low annual mileage often correlates with vehicles used for short, stop-start journeys, so examine the exhaust system for corrosion caused by moisture accumulation and check the brake discs for surface rust that can lead to binding calipers. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for deterioration, as rubber components perish with age and lack of use rather than just mileage. A thorough underbody inspection remains essential to verify the structural soundness of the chassis outriggers and floor pan.
