If you've encountered a situation where your Peugeot Boxer (2006 to 2014) won't start, it can be particularly frustrating, especially when you're relying on it every day. From my 15 years as a mechanic, I've gained an in-depth understanding of the intricacies and common hurdles you might face with a vehicle of this age and model.
Several factors could be responsible for your Peugeot Boxer's starting issues. First, consider the battery, which is often the culprit in older vehicles. If the battery is drained or damaged, the engine won't turn over. Next up are the starter motor and ignition switch, both of which are essential for starting the engine. Other possible issues could include fuel system problems or a faulty alternator not charging the battery adequately.
Symptoms that something might be wrong include the engine not cranking, a clicking sound when turning the key, dimming of the dashboard lights, and the complete absence of power when attempting to start.
The repair process typically begins with a thorough diagnostic to pinpoint the exact cause of the problem. This might involve checking the battery's health, inspecting the starter motor and ignition switch, and testing the alternator's output. Depending on the diagnosis, repairs could range from replacing a battery or rewiring electrical components to overhauling the starter motor or ignition system.
Repairing a van as seasoned as the Peugeot Boxer (2006 to 2014) can often become a costly and time-consuming endeavor. Parts might be harder to source, and the frequency of repairs could increase due to age and wear. Have you considered the possibility that selling your vehicle might be a clearer and more economical resolution?

Our team will walk you through the settlement process.

It makes it tougher to sell to our network of 4000+ verified dealers, as we have to wait for the DVLA to process a V62 application (usually 6 weeks), so our valuations reflect the delay in sale and storage costs while rectifying missing V5 logbooks.
