Boxer 335 Pro L2h2 Bhdi: middle-of-the-pack on first-time pass
Across 2,243 MOT tests, the Boxer 335 Pro L2h2 Bhdi returns 77.8% first-time pass — roughly in line with the UK fleet average. The single most-logged Major fail is windscreen damage. A weak handbrake and brake pads worn below 1.5 mm round out the top three. Average tested mileage sits at 46,776, which is the lens to read those failure rankings through. If you own one and the next test is close, the ranked list below is a sensible pre-test checklist.

Buying or keeping a Boxer 335 Pro L2h2 Bhdi?
Use the failure ranking as a pre-test checklist or a haggling lever. Treat the headline pass rate as a fleet-wide trend, not a guarantee on any individual car.
