Things to Watch / Potential Drawbacks
-
As with many large vans, fuel economy (in diesel form) won’t match smaller vehicles — heavier loads cost more.
-
Some user-reports mention reliability concerns or maintenance overheads:
“The adBlue is a weak spot with them.” Reddit
“Common issues seem to pop up more than others… The EGR valve is notorious for clogging up.” Reddit -
When buying second-hand: check service history, check for water ingress, condition of injectors etc.
-
Electric version: while attractive, ensure charging infrastructure, battery condition etc if used.
Is It Right For You?
If you:
-
Need a vehicle for transporting goods, heavy loads, or conversion (e.g., camper van, mobile business)
-
Are looking for flexibility with body styles and high payloads
-
Want the option of an electric van for low emissions/urban access
then the Boxer is a strong contender.
If you:
-
Want low running costs and minimal load regularly (maybe smaller van is more suited)
-
Are concerned about maintenance history or buying used with unknown past
then you might compare alternatives (same class vans) before deciding.
