Second Hand Peugeot Boxer Wheel Hub

The Boxer has run in two main generations in the UK: the first generation covered 1994 to 2006, and the second generation (shared with the Fiat Ducato and Citroën Relay platform) ran from 2006 onwards, receiving a facelift around 2014. The wheel hub design differs between these two generations, so a hub from a first-gen van will not cross over to a second-gen van. Always confirm the generation against your registration before ordering from a breaker.

Both a 2012 and a 2016 Boxer sit within the second generation (2006 onwards), but the 2014 facelift introduced changes to some running gear components, meaning you are crossing an internal boundary within that generation. Whether the hub itself changed across that 2014 facelift point is something you should confirm with the breaker against your specific registration and axle details, as fitment is not guaranteed across facelift years without verification.

Yes, this matters significantly on the Boxer — heavier-rated variants (typically 3.5-tonne GVW models versus lighter panel van ratings) can run larger brake assemblies, which means the hub specification can differ. Check the plate in your van's door shut or engine bay for the actual GVW rating rather than relying on the model name alone, as two vans badged identically can have different running gear. Give this rating to your breaker so they can match the correct hub.

Engine size can affect hub and brake specification on the Boxer, particularly where larger or more powerful engines are paired with uprated brake assemblies that alter the hub design. A 2.2 HDi and a smaller-engined variant may not share the same hub, so matching engine size as well as generation and GVW is worthwhile when speaking to a breaker. Confirm the full spec of the donor vehicle against your own registration to be sure.

Trim level names like Professional are primarily about interior specification and equipment, so trim alone does not change the wheel hub. What does matter is the GVW rating and generation, as these drive the brake and hub specification regardless of what the trim badge says. A breaker will need your registration or the axle and GVW details rather than the trim name to identify the right hub.

For front hubs in particular, the hub itself is typically handed on the Boxer because of the way the bearing and stub axle geometry is set up, so nearside and offside are not interchangeable. Always tell your breaker clearly whether you need the NS (nearside, passenger side) or OS (offside, driver side) front hub to avoid receiving the wrong part. Rear hubs may be symmetrical depending on the variant, but confirm this with the breaker against your specific vehicle.
