2015 Peugeot Bipper 1.2L Diesel · CK65 YFW

The latest MOT test for the 2015 PeuGEOT BIPPER came back with a PASS, indicating that the vehicle meets the current safety standards. However, the history reveals a pattern of recurring issues that warrant close attention. The advisory notes suggest persistent problems with the nearside front inner tyre, which has been worn close to the legal limit on multiple occasions, and the offside front inner tyre showing similar concerns. These wear patterns point to increased friction and potential loss of grip, which could affect handling and braking performance over time. Additionally, the registration plate lamp has shown multiple failures, indicating possible electrical or sensor issues that may not be immediately obvious during a visual inspection. The recorded mileage of 100,150 miles over roughly 11 years is consistent with the vehicle’s age, but the annual usage appears to be moderate to high, especially considering the 9,105 miles per year. This level of mileage can accelerate wear on critical components such as the suspension, brakes, and drivetrain. The presence of a 12V battery that may not hold a charge adequately, along with a failing windscreen washer system, further underscores the need for vigilant maintenance. On a test drive, the buyer should pay particular attention to any unusual noises from the suspension, uneven tyre wear, or brake vibrations that could signal developing problems. Given the vehicle’s age and usage profile, the buyer should prioritize checking the tyre condition, especially the nearside front inner tyre, and inspect the brake discs for any signs of corrosion or binding. The 12V battery should be tested for voltage stability and replaced if necessary. Fluid levels and condition should be verified regularly, particularly for the coolant, brake fluid, and washer fluid. Since the MOT history is mixed with both minor and major advisories, it is advisable to schedule a thorough inspection before finalizing the purchase, focusing on components that show signs of degradation or frequent service requirements.
