2015 Peugeot Bipper 1.2L Diesel · EY15 GFX

The 2015 Peugeot Bipper holds a valid MOT issued on 13 May 2025 at 101,624 miles, following a failure the previous day for an oil leak and a windscreen in unacceptable condition. Both defects were rectified within 24 hours, indicating a reactive but ultimately compliant maintenance approach. The overall trend is broadly stable, though the recurring nature of certain minor advisories suggests routine consumable upkeep has been inconsistent rather than systematically neglected. The vehicle has covered roughly 14,337 miles in the past year, jumping from 87,287 miles in May 2024 to 101,624 miles by May 2025. That represents a notable acceleration compared to the prior annual average of approximately 11,000 miles between 2022 and 2024. A mileage plateau between September 2022 at 76,014 miles and May 2023 at 76,339 miles indicates a period of very light use or possible standing. The recent step up in annual mileage points to heavier daily driving, which places greater demand on brakes, suspension bushes, and drivetrain components. The repeated appearance of both front tyres worn close to the legal limit and worn on edge in May 2022 and May 2024 is a clear pattern. Two consecutive MOTs flagging the same axle pair suggests either prolonged under-inflation, a misaligned front tracking setup, or a lack of routine tyre rotation. A buyer should inspect the inner and outer shoulders of all four tyres in person and check for uneven tread wear that would confirm a geometry issue. Suspension bushes, ball joints, and front dampers deserve close scrutiny given the tyre wear signature. The oil leak rectified in May 2025 warrants further investigation. A fresh leak on a 101,000-mile commercial van could stem from a failing camshaft cover gasket, a perished crankshaft oil seal, or a deteriorating sump plug washer. Examine the engine block and gearbox bell housing for fresh wetness or residue beneath the vehicle. The windscreen replacement carried out between the failure and pass should also be verified as a proper factory-specification bonded unit, particularly on a light commercial vehicle where structural integrity around the screen aperture matters for load-bearing and occupant protection.
