2013 Peugeot Bipper 1.2L Diesel · NU63 ADZ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, showing a trend of clean passes over the last three years. The most recent inspection conducted in September 2024 at 148,637 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the car currently meets minimum safety and emissions standards. This follows a period of consistent maintenance since late 2021, suggesting that the current ownership is addressing necessary mechanical requirements to keep the vehicle roadworthy without recurring failures. At 148,637 miles, the Peugeot Bipster has averaged approximately 11,400 miles per year, which aligns closely with UK national averages for a vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with 11,678 miles recorded between September 2023 and September 2024, and another 8,345 miles between October 2022 and September 2023. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle has been used regularly rather than sitting stationary for long periods, which helps prevent the degradation of seals and internal corrosion of braking components. Despite the clean record in recent tests, a buyer must focus on the high-mileage components common to 13-year-old French vans. The failure in October 2022 at 128,614 miles indicates a specific issue was rectified quickly to pass the re-test, but a physical inspection should still target the suspension bushes, control arms, and coil springs, as these often show significant wear at this mileage. Given the age of the vehicle, a thorough check for corrosion on the sills and wheel arches is essential, as the MOT test only identifies structural rust once it reaches a critical threshold of thinning.
