2009 Peugeot Boxer 2.2L Diesel · YX09 FSD

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a pass on 5 March 2026 at 34,807 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the recent failure in February 2026 indicates a lapse in Preventative attention regarding minor safety-critical items. The tester flagged the vehicle for a low offside headlamp aim and perishing rear tyres, both of which were rectified before the subsequent test, suggesting the owner is responsive to official MOT requirements once identified. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 17-year-old van, averaging approximately 2,047 miles per year. Between March 2023 and March 2026, the vehicle covered only 6,391 miles, which confirms very infrequent use or long periods of inactivity. While this low mileage suggests minimal wear on the engine and drivetrain components, it increases the risk of stationary rubber-based parts degrading. The failure in February 2026 regarding perished tyres is a direct consequence of this age-related wear, as rubber dries out over time regardless of miles driven. A buyer must prioritise a thorough physical inspection of all rubber components, including suspension bushes, brake hoses, and engine lines, as these are prone to cracking from age rather than use. The record of a nail in the offside tyre in 2025 and perished rubber in 2026 highlights that tyres require scrutiny. Given the age of the Peugeot Boxer, the structural integrity of the chassis and floor pans should be checked for corrosion, as low-mileage vehicles often sit in damp environments that accelerate rust without the benefit of regular airflow from movement.
