2010 Peugeot Bipper 1.4L Diesel · ET10 AAF

The vehicle is currently unroadworthy and exhibits a clear worsening trend regarding structural integrity. The most recent test on 27 March 2026 at 169,394 miles resulted in a critical failure due to excessive corrosion on both the nearside and offside suspension component mounting areas. This corrosion significantly reduces the structural strength of the sills, following a previous failure in February 2025 for similar issues affecting the chassis within 30cm of a body mounting sill. At 169,394 miles over 16 years, the Peugeot has averaged approximately 10,587 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. However, the record shows a rapid accumulation of mileage between February 2024 and March 2026, where nearly 9,000 miles were covered in two years. While the mileage itself is consistent, the frequency of failures suggests that preventative maintenance has been reactive rather than proactive, with faults only being addressed once they reached the point of test failure. A physical inspection must prioritize the extent of the structural rot in the sills and inner wheel arches, as the repeated failures of the nearside and offside mounting points indicate deep-seated oxidation. The tester also flagged a recurring issue with the nearside front CV boot, which appeared deteriorated from 2024 through 2026, suggesting a failure to replace the component despite previous warnings. The buyer should also inspect the front tyres, which were found worn close to the legal limit in the latest test, and verify the anti-roll bar ball joints which have shown signs of play in recent records.
