PEUGEOT BIPPER2015 · 1.2L DIESEL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, as confirmed by its latest MOT pass on 2025-10-17 at 143,265 miles, though a minor advisory on slightly worn nearside front upper shock absorber bushes indicates early-stage suspension wear. The maintenance trend shows stability overall, with only one advisory in the last two years and no new defects introduced since the 2023 test, suggesting consistent care despite high mileage. The vehicle is 11 years old with 143,265 miles, averaging 13,024 miles per year—well above the typical 9,000–10,000 mile annual figure—indicating heavy or long-distance use. Mileage increased by 8,410 miles between the October 2024 and October 2025 tests, and by 6,950 miles between the 2023 and 2024 tests, showing steady annual usage without long gaps in testing. A notable gap occurred between the 2022 and 2023 tests: the vehicle was tested on 2022-10-11 (where it failed), then not retested until 2023-10-04, meaning it ran for nearly a full year without a valid MOT, likely due to repairs or storage before returning to regular use. A buyer should closely inspect the front suspension bushes, especially on the nearside, as the 2025 advisory suggests progressive wear that may require replacement soon; monitor tyre condition on all corners, given repeated edge-wear advisories in 2024 and a prior failure on the nearside front tyre in 2022 due to exposed cords, which may indicate alignment or suspension geometry issues. The spare tyre also failed on the same 2022 test for exposed cords, so its condition should be verified regardless of whether it’s fitted. There is no evidence of structural rust or brake failures in the record, but given the mileage, the brake discs and pads may be nearing end-of-life, and the exhaust system should be checked for corrosion or leaks, especially if the vehicle has been used frequently in wet or salty conditions.
