The 2009 Peugeot Boxer falls just below the UK average with a 78.5% first-time pass rate, and more concerning, 30% of these vehicles have recorded a dangerous defect during their MOT history—well above the acceptable threshold. This is a van that demands extra scrutiny from any buyer, particularly around structural integrity and brake condition.

These Boxers are running fairly high mileage for their age, averaging 58,735 miles against a median of just 38,496, suggesting mixed usage patterns across the cohort. With an average of 3.62 failures and 14.7 advisories per vehicle, expect accumulated wear items and corrosion to be routine issues—so budget for regular maintenance and always request full MOT history before purchase to check what specific defects have been flagged.

What to check before buying a 2009 Peugeot Boxer

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.
  • ⚠️ 30% of these vehicles have had a dangerous defect recorded. Enter the reg below — the full MOT history will show exactly what was flagged and whether it was resolved.
  • 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
