PMy insurance renewal is due, my monitored and tracked alarm is no longer on the approved list of my preferred insurers so have taken the decision not to declare I have one fitted. The insurers all ask does the vehicle have an immobiliser?
I assume it does have a factory fitted immobiliser as I believe this was made mandatory by the labour government a long time ago.
Does anyone know if this assumption is correct and what the Thatcham rating is assuming it has one.

The vehicle is a 2015 build Peugeot boxer.

I've never been asked what Thatcham rating the immobiliser is. They've always just accepted that it is manufacturer standard fitment.

Thanks Paul, my renewal states cat 2 from the camping and caravan club but the caravan and motorhome club have quoted based on there own assumption “ cat2”
However, I take it you agree with me it does have one?
Thanks

Oh yes, definitely has one. Should be evident by key symbol when ignition key turned.

Thatcham publish a list of all vans that have a Category 2 immobiliser from the factory. The Boxer (08 onward) is on it. In fact I tried to think of a van that's sold in the UK that is not on the list - and failed!

[Edit: I should add that as far as I'm aware, thatchamsecurity.co.uk is ~not~ the Thatcham that does the evaluations, but I believe that the list is published by the correct organisation.]

The Peugeot handbook states the vans have a "thatcham rolling transponder immobiliser" as standard.
I think this means category 2 (electronic immobiliser) as opposed to a category 3 (mechanical immobiliser)

Also page 34 of this list from Thatcham(.org) states category 2
