2014 Peugeot Bipper 1.2L Diesel · LT64 AAE

This Peugeot Bipper’s most recent MOT test, conducted on 31 May 2023 at 133,782 miles, confirms it remains roadworthy with no defects recorded. The vehicle’s history shows a pattern of near-annual testing, though two consecutive failures in May 2021 and May 2022—both at identical mileages—suggest a brief but resolved issue during those periods. Since the last failure, the vehicle has passed every subsequent test without advisories, indicating stable maintenance once the earlier problem was addressed. The absence of recurring faults in the most recent tests suggests the vehicle has been reliably serviced, though the exact nature of the 2021–2022 failures remains unspecified. The recorded mileage of 133,782 miles over approximately 12 years equates to an average of around 11,148 miles annually, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. There are no significant gaps in testing that would raise concerns about prolonged neglect, though the repeated failures in May 2021 and May 2022—both at 116,551 miles—highlight a period where the vehicle may have been driven without immediate attention. The subsequent consistent passing suggests the issue was rectified, but the lack of detail in the records means the buyer should verify whether critical components, such as suspension bushes, brake calipers, or exhaust systems, were replaced or repaired during that time. Given the absence of defects in the most recent tests, the primary focus for an in-person inspection should centre on components prone to wear at this mileage. The suspension—particularly the coil springs, bushes, and shock absorbers—should be examined for uneven wear or leaks, as these are common failure points in commercial vans of this age. Brake discs and pads, while not explicitly flagged in the MOT history, warrant close scrutiny for uneven thickness or glazing, especially if the vehicle has been driven hard or exposed to heavy loads. Structural integrity, including underbody corrosion around the wheel arches and sills, should also be assessed, as rust can compromise the chassis over time. Finally, the exhaust system should be checked for leaks or excessive corrosion, particularly near the catalytic converter, which can lead to emissions failures if compromised.
