2012 PEUGEOT BIPPER1.2L DIESEL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive care. While the most recent test in September 2025 at 162,853 miles passed, it followed a failure just one mile prior due to a fractured offside front coil spring. The de-emergence of multiple advisories regarding tyre condition and brake pipe corrosion in recent tests suggests the owner is only addressing faults once they reach a point of failure rather than during routine service intervals. At 162,853 miles, this fourteen-year-old Peugeot has averaged approximately 11,600 miles per year, which aligns closely with typical national averages for a small commercial vehicle. The mileage accumulation is consistent between 2022 and 2025, showing annual increases of roughly 2,000 to 2,800 miles. This steady usage suggests the vehicle has not sat stationary for long periods but puts mileage on drivetrain and suspension components, which is reflected in the recurring mechanical issues noted in the later records. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and suspension geometry. The offside rear brake pipe was flagged for corrosion and obscured by grease in the 2025 tests, which often hides active fluid leaks or structural degradation of the metalwork. Furthermore, the front tyres being worn on the edges indicates a likely alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that require checking to prevent further premature tyre wear. The perishing of the rear tyres suggests the rubber is aged beyond its effective life, necessitating immediate replacement regardless of remaining tread depth.
