2010 Peugeot Bipper 1.4L Diesel · ET10 AAJ

The vehicle presents a concerning roadworthiness profile with a clear trend of worsening mechanical neglect following a period of stability. While it passed its test in April 2022 at 172,839 miles, the record reveals a significant list of accumulated faults from just one month prior. The lack of any MOT data for over four years as of June 2026 suggests the vehicle has either been off road or unregistered, which masks the critical issues identified during the final inspection. At 172,839 miles over 16 years, the Bipper has averaged approximately 10,800 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK domestic usage patterns. However, the data shows a significant gap in testing between July 2019 and March 2021, during which it covered nearly 10,000 miles. The subsequent jump of 6,700 miles between March 2021 and April 2022 indicates a period of high usage that likely exposed the age-related mechanical failures recorded in the 2022 report. A physical inspection must prioritise the underbody and drivetrain due to recurring failures. The April 2022 test flagged a damaged engine oil sump and a severely deteriorated offside front CV boot, both of which risk catastrophic fluid loss or failure if unaddressed. The defective rear gearbox mount bush and corroded coil springs indicate the suspension and engine mounts are reaching the end of their service life. You must verify if the 20-year-old nearside rear tyre was replaced, as aged rubber poses structural risks regardless of tread depth. The braking and electrical systems require immediate scrutiny. The tester noted the parking brake lever had little reserve travel and multiple wiring faults affecting the stop and indicator lamps. The history of uneven inner edge wear on the front tyres suggests a persistent alignment issue or worn suspension components that were never rectified. Given the reported knock in the suspension and the de-bonded anti-roll bar linkages, the vehicle likely requires significant investment to bring it back to a safe operating standard.
