Is the Peugeot Boxer ULEZ Compliant?
Based on 53,675 MOT tests, around 24% of Peugeot Boxers still on the road are likely to meet London's ULEZ standards, and about 65% are likely to be charged. For the remaining 11%, it depends on the exact Euro standard or month of registration.
The fuel mix matters: tested cars were 97% diesel. Diesel Boxers are generally compliant from 2016, while diesel cars from 2013 or earlier are likely to be charged.

How ULEZ rules apply to the Boxer
Cars that miss the standard pay £12.50 for each day they're driven in the zone. Petrol and petrol-hybrid cars need Euro 4 (most from 2006), while diesels need Euro 6 (most from September 2015).
- Diesel (97% of Boxers tested): likely compliant from 2016; 2013 and earlier are likely to be charged.
- Petrol (3% of Boxers tested): likely compliant from 2006; 2000 and earlier are likely to be charged.
Boxers from 2014 and 2015 sit on the boundary (11% of those tested): some were built to the required standard before it became compulsory. The Euro standard is sometimes on the V5C logbook, or Peugeot can confirm it. Our ULEZ calculator can help.

Buying a used Peugeot Boxer for London: what the MOT data shows
The Peugeot Boxers in this data were first registered between 1994 and 2022. 2017 was the most common year, with 3,360 tests (6% of the total), and half were registered in 2010 or later.
Boxers from likely-compliant years passed their MOT first time 84% of the time, at an average of 46,944 miles. Older ones likely to be charged passed 69% of the time with 59,829 miles on average, so a compliant car is usually the more reliable buy as well as the cheaper one to drive in London.
On a budget, the oldest diesel Boxers likely to comply are from 2016. 3,197 of them were tested; 2016 cars passed first time 82% of the time and averaged 57,521 miles. Check the Euro standard on the V5C before you buy one from around then.
Whichever year you choose, check the Boxer's weak spots. The most common MOT failures were lights and electrics: "not working" (6.9% of tests); suspension: "prescribed area excessively corroded significantly reducing structural strength" (3.2%); visibility: "does not clear the windscreen effectively" (2.9%). The most frequent advisory was "has a tear, caused by separation or partial failure of its structure", on 6.5% of tests.
Overall, 74% of Boxers passed first time, slightly above the 71% average for all cars, and they had covered 56,893 miles on average, fewer than the 73,145-mile average.
