Peugeot Boxer (2013)
2013 Peugeot Boxer
CarHunch analysed 4,920 real MOT records for the 2013 Peugeot Boxer. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2013 Peugeot Boxer's 79.5% first-time pass rate sits just below the UK average of 80%, which is respectable but unremarkable—however, the 30.7% of vehicles that have ever recorded a dangerous defect is a significant red flag for buyers, well above what you'd expect from a reliable van. This is a vehicle that needs careful pre-purchase inspection and ongoing attention to safety-critical systems.
At 56,000 miles median mileage for a 12-year-old van, these Boxers have been moderately used, yet they're averaging 2.61 failures and 11.2 advisories per test, suggesting wear-related issues are common. Before buying, have a specialist inspect the braking system, suspension and structural integrity—these vans show the pattern of a workman's tool that's been pushed hard, and deferred maintenance on a Boxer can quickly become expensive.
What to check before buying a 2013 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.
