2010 Peugeot Bipper 1.4L Diesel · CY10 NNL

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a consistent pattern of deferred repairs regarding suspension and braking. The most recent test in February 2026 at 118,079 miles flagged further corrosion on rear coil springs and thinning brake pads on both front wheels. While the car has passed, the recurring nature of these faults across multiple years suggests that the owner addresses only the absolute minimum requirements to pass the MOT test rather than performing preventative mechanical maintenance. At 118,079 miles over 16 years, the Peugeot Bipter has averaged approximately 7,400 miles per year, which is typical for a low-use city vehicle. The mileage progression shows steady usage, with a 1,512-mile interval between February 2025 and February 2026, and roughly 8,500 miles between June 2023 and 2025. This consistent activity suggests the vehicle has not sat for long periods, though the low mileage has not prevented the level of corrosion observed on the chassis. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the underbody and suspension components, as corrosion is a persistent issue. The records from 2021 through 2026 repeatedly highlight corroded coil springs and a corroded sub-frame and axle, which indicates the vehicle is exposed to significant salt or moisture. The steering rack inner joints and upper shock absorber bushes have been flagged for play and wear since at least 2022, suggesting the front-end geometry is nearing the end of its functional life and has not been proactively replaced. The braking system requires immediate attention as the history shows recurring thin pads, pitted discs, and binding rear calipers. Additionally, the vehicle has a history of poor tyre management, with multiple entries for tyres worn to the limit on inner edges, likely indicating alignment issues or simply neglected replacement. The missing rear seats noted in the 2025 and 2026 tests suggest the vehicle may have been used for utility purposes or light transport, which aligns with the general wear patterns seen on the mechanical components.
