Peugeot Boxer 320 Lwb (1996)
1996 Peugeot Boxer 320 Lwb
CarHunch analysed 108 real MOT records for the 1996 Peugeot Boxer 320 Lwb. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This 1996 Peugeot Boxer 320 LWB is a seriously unreliable proposition: just 7.2% pass their MOT first time, compared to the UK average of 80%. The complete absence of dangerous defects (0%) is the only silver lining, but it masks an underlying pattern of frequent mechanical issues that make this van genuinely risky to own.
At nearly 28 years old with a median mileage of 82,372 miles, these vehicles are simply worn out—they average 0.29 failures per test, which is typical only for much older stock. If you're considering one, budget heavily for immediate and recurring repairs, and have any prospective purchase thoroughly inspected by a diesel van specialist before committing.
What to check before buying a 1996 Peugeot Boxer 320 Lwb
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
