Hello

things to watch for are:

The low speed ride of the Boxer can be a little choppy when it’s running light or empty.

The standard panel van models come with the bare essentials for cabin comfort and safety equipment.

Belt cam diesels need a fresh belt every three years and when this is done it is also vital to replace the auxiliaries belt. If not, the aux belt can fail, wrap itself around the timing belt and take the timing belt off. Depending on where this happens a new engine can be as much as £8,000.

Problem of water ingress from the windscreen area onto the fuel injectors in the engine. Fiat seemed to have solved the problem, but Peugeot not quite. A small plate was fitted to deflect the water and some sealant applied around the skirting. Now less water gets to the injectors, but on occasions one or two of them are surrounded by water.

Recall 21-02-2007: Handbrake assembly may come loose and reduce handbrake efficiency.

Recall 07-02-2008: Some vehicle have incorrect brake hoses that could lead to brake failure.

Recall 14-03-2008: Steering may become stiff.

Recall 02-06-2008: Side repeater indicators may not work correctly.

Longstanding problems with manual gearboxes. Seems that the old 4-speed box was adapted to 5-speed and 6-speed but the extra gears are not very well supported and failures are common, particularly on Sevel X250 based campers and motorhhomes.

'Gong' sound means thatthe battery is failing to hold sufficient charge and needs to be replaced.

also you should average about 38mpg in mixed use
