Peugeot Boxer (2016)
2016 Peugeot Boxer
CarHunch analysed 11,828 real MOT records for the 2016 Peugeot Boxer. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2016 Peugeot Boxer's 79.9% pass rate is essentially dead level with the UK average, but the real concern is that 34% of these vans have recorded a dangerous defect at some point—well above the threshold for buyer caution. This is a commercial vehicle, so durability matters more than most.
At 68,659 miles median mileage for an eight-year-old van, these Boxers are running right in line with expected use, and the 1.85 average failures per test suggests consistent but manageable wear. With 7.7 advisories per vehicle on average, plan for regular maintenance—check the service history closely and budget for suspension, braking, and electrical work before committing.
What to check before buying a 2016 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.
- ⚠️ 34% 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.
