Key Specifications

• Payload: Typically ranges from 1,100kg to over 1,500kg, depending on the specific model (L1H1 to L4H3). Heavier duty models can exceed 1,800kg.
• Load Volume: From 8m³ (L1H1) to a cavernous 17m³ (L4H3).
• Dimensions (Representative L3H2):
  • Length: 5998mm
  • Width (excluding mirrors): 2050mm
  • Height: 2522mm
  • Load bay length: 3705mm
  • Load bay width: 1870mm (1422mm between wheel arches)
  • Load bay height: 1932mm
• Engine Options (Post-2016 Euro 6):
  • 2.0L BlueHDi Diesel: 110hp, 130hp, 160hp. These replaced the earlier 2.2L engines.
  • 2.2L BlueHDi Diesel: More recent models (post-2019) introduced this unit, typically with 120hp, 140hp, and 165hp.
• Euro Standard: Post-September 2016 models are predominantly Euro 6, making them compliant with most UK ULEZ/CAZ requirements. Always verify the specific vehicle's Euro standard.

What to Look For When Buying Used

• DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter): As with all modern diesels, check for DPF issues, particularly if the van has seen extensive urban driving. Look for warning lights or Restricted Performance messages. Regeneration cycles can fail if the van isn't driven on longer runs.
• Clutch and Gearbox: The Boxer is typically a workhorse. Listen for gear crunching or feel for a heavy/slipping clutch, especially on higher mileage examples. Manual gearboxes are standard.
• Timing Chain/Belt:
  • Older 2.2L Euro 5 engines (pre-2016) often used a timing chain, which theoretically lasts the lifetime of the engine but can stretch, leading to expensive repairs if neglected.
  • Newer 2.0L and 2.2L Euro 6 engines typically use a timing belt. Check service history for documented belt changes, usually advised around 90,000-110,000 miles or 5-7 years, depending on the specific engine variant.
• Rust Spots: While generally well-protected, inspect wheel arches, door sills, the rear door lower edges, and around the windscreen for any signs of surface rust or bubbling paint.
• AdBlue System: Euro 6 models use AdBlue. Check for any fault codes related to the AdBlue system, as repairs can be costly. Ensure the tank filler cap is present and the system is functional.
• Electrics: Pay attention to all warning lights, central locking, electric windows, and infotainment systems. Faulty wiring or sensors are not uncommon on older commercial vehicles.

Running Costs for Businesses

• Typical Insurance: Insurance groups for Boxers typically range from Group 30 to Group 40 (for commercial vehicles). Premiums will vary massively based on driver age, conviction history, load type, and postcode, but expect annual costs from £600 to £1,500+ for a standard business policy.
• Fuel Economy:
  • 2.0L BlueHDi 130hp (Euro 6): Expect combined figures of 32-38 mpg in real-world driving.
  • 2.2L BlueHDi 140hp (Euro 6d): Slightly improved, 34-40 mpg is achievable.
  • Heavy loads and urban driving will significantly reduce these figures.
• Servicing: Main dealer servicing can be expensive. Many independent specialists offer competitive pricing. Expect minor services every 12,500-16,000 miles or annually, and major services every two years or 25,000-32,000 miles.
• ULEZ/CAZ Compliance: Most post-2016 Euro 6 Boxer models are compliant with London's ULEZ and other UK Clean Air Zones, avoiding daily charges. Always double-check the specific vehicle's registration against the relevant zone's checker.

Is the Peugeot Boxer Right For Your Business?

The Peugeot Boxer is an excellent choice for businesses requiring significant cargo capacity at an affordable price point. It's particularly well-suited for:

• Couriers and delivery services.
• Construction trades (plumbers, electricians, builders).
• Logistics and removals.
• Campervan conversions (due to its boxy, spacious interior).

Alternatives to consider: If the Boxer doesn't quite fit, look at its platform siblings the Citroën Relay and Fiat Ducato. Other strong contenders in the large van segment include the Ford Transit, Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, and Renault Master, though these often command higher used prices.
