Quick summary

The 2021 Peugeot Boxer has an overall defect rate of 120 defects per 100 vehicles, significantly higher than the average of 79 defects per 100 vehicles, which is a 53% increase. As mileage increases, the defect rate for this model also rises sharply, particularly in the 124,000+ miles category, where it reaches 297 defects per 100 vehicles. Notably, the Boxer shows markedly higher defect rates in categories such as brakes, visibility, lights and electrics, and body/structure compared to the average, indicating potential areas of concern for owners. Despite some common issues like tyre wear, these specific high defect rates suggest that the Boxer may require more attention in these critical areas when compared to the average vehicle of the same year.
