Peugeot Boxer (2011)
2011 Peugeot Boxer
CarHunch analysed 3,441 real MOT records for the 2011 Peugeot Boxer. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2011 Peugeot Boxer has an 81.3% first-time MOT pass rate, marginally above the UK average of 80%, but the real concern here is that 27.6% of vehicles in this cohort have recorded dangerous defects—well above the typical threshold. This suggests structural or safety issues are more prevalent than average, making a pre-purchase inspection non-negotiable.
At an average mileage of 60,243 miles for a 13-year-old van, these Boxers have been reasonably well-used but not thrashed; however, the average vehicle still racks up 2.73 failures per test, indicating maintenance has often been deferred rather than tackled proactively. With nearly 12 advisories per car on average, budget for preventative work on suspension, lights, and wear items before they become failures, and always obtain and review the full MOT history before committing to purchase.
What to check before buying a 2011 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.
- ⚠️ 27.6% 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.
