PEUGEOT BIPPER2012 · 1.2L DIESEL

The 2012 Peugeot Bipper last passed an MOT on 2021-10-21 at 94,604 miles with no defects recorded. However, no subsequent tests have been conducted, leaving a four-year gap to the current date of 2026-07-16. This absence of recent data raises concerns about unmonitored deterioration, particularly in components like suspension bushes, exhaust systems, and brake components, which were previously flagged. While the most recent test indicated roadworthiness, the lack of ongoing inspection suggests potential unresolved issues that could have worsened over time. The vehicle’s mileage of 94,604 miles over 14 years aligns with an average of 6,757 miles annually, a typical rate for its age. MOT records from 2017 to 2021 show steady progression, with minor issues such as worn suspension bushes (2018) and exhaust leaks (2018) addressed. A 2017 test noted tyres near the legal limit and stiff front bearings, but no critical failures. The gap between 2019 and 2021 tests—two years—means no formal assessment of wear during this period, which could have allowed minor faults to escalate. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system, particularly the offside front upper Macpherson strut bush, which previously showed wear without excessive movement. The exhaust system, prone to leaks in the manifold area, and brake components, including the anti-slip provision missing in 2018, warrant close scrutiny. Corrosion in the exhaust and potential brake disc warping from binding calipers, though not explicitly mentioned, could have developed. Structural integrity appears unremarkable in the records, but the absence of recent MOT data necessitates a thorough pre-purchase inspection of all flagged areas.
