2013 Peugeot Boxer 2.2L Diesel · YJ13 CUW

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward age-related degradation despite the low mileage. While the most recent test in March 2026 at 32,277 miles passed, it introduced a non-excessive diesel leak above the fuel tank and flagged both front tyres as perished. This marks a departure from the clean records seen in previous years and suggests that the vehicle's rubber components and seals are beginning to fail due to stationary time rather than mechanical wear. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 13-year-old van, averaging approximately 2,500 miles per year. The data shows consistent but minimal usage, with a gap of only 2,602 miles recorded between March 2025 and March 2026. This low-frequency operation typically results in less mechanical strain on the engine and braking system, but it directly correlates with the dry rot observed in the MOT history. Lack of regular use often leads to component seizing and the degradation of materials that rely on thermal expansion and contraction to remain supple. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of all rubber elements, as the record shows recurring issues with perished tyres and valve stems between 2025 and 2026. The diesel leak identified in the March 2026 test requires close scrutiny to determine if it is a simple weeping seal or a failing fuel line that could worsen. Given the low mileage, the brake discs should also be checked for surface pitting or seized calipers, as these components often corrode when a vehicle is not driven frequently over long distances. The failure in 2023 regarding the wiper blade and headlamp alignment indicates that the previous owner addressed minor safety items only after they failed a test.
