What this means if you are buying a 1999 Boxer
The 1999 is a weaker year for this model, passing 8.1 points less often than the Peugeot Boxer average. Some of that is simply age, so compare it against the 1999 figure for all cars above rather than against newer examples. Check the exact car with the free MOT history checker before you buy, and run its VIN and mileage through our free VIN decoder and clocking check.
What a 27-year-old car fails on
A 1999 car is 27 years old now, and age drives the failure mix more than the badge does. Across all cars tested, these are the categories that actually cause failures:
- Lights and electrical: 10.36% of all cars tested
- Suspension: 8.65% of all cars tested
- Tyres: 6.23% of all cars tested
- Brakes: 6.1% of all cars tested
- Visibility: wipers, washers, glass: 4.65% of all cars tested
- Body, chassis and structure: 3.18% of all cars tested
That is around average, so condition and service history will tell you more than the odometer does. On a 1999 Peugeot Boxer the average at test was 64,758 miles, so treat anything far above that as a car that has worked harder than its peers, and anything far below as one worth checking for the faults that come from standing still.
The strongest year for this model is 2010 at 81.8%, and the weakest in our data is 1995 at 61.3%. That 20.5 point spread across the model's life is why comparing a 1999 car against a newer one tells you very little.
