2011 Peugeot Bipper 1.4L Diesel · CE61 FSL

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a concerning shift from reactive repairs to developing neglect. While the most recent test in February 2026 passed, the high volume of advisories indicates a decline in basic upkeep compared to previous years. The transition from a clean record in early 2024 to a list of structural and mechanical concerns in 2026 suggests the vehicle is currently only being maintained when faults approach failure thresholds rather than through preventative care. Mileage data indicates a high-usage pattern over the last recorded period. The vehicle recorded 109,690 miles in January 2023 and 117,597 miles by January 2024, representing an accumulation of nearly 8,000 miles in one year. However, there is no mileage data between the February 2024 test and the February 2026 test, leaving the current mileage unknown. This two-year gap likely explains the accelerated wear observed on consumable components in the latest inspection. A buyer must prioritize the rear sub-frame, as the February 2026 test flagged corrosion that is not yet structurally weakened but is prone to progress on Peugeot models of this era. The suspension also shows signs of fatigue, with a worn front suspension arm bush noted in 2025 and play in the strut upper bearing identified in the same period. These components should be inspected for excessive lateral play or knocking noises during a test drive to determine the cost of rectification. Consumable items require immediate attention. The February 2026 report found both front tyres near the legal limit with edge wear, suggesting an alignment issue, alongside a perishing rear tyre. The brake system previously failed in 2024 due to worn discs and fluctuating calipers, and the recent advisory on a corroded rear brake hose ferrule suggests the hydraulic lines are beginning to degrade. Inspect the windscreen and headlamp lenses to ensure the cracks do not progress beyond the point of legal failure.
