2010 Peugeot Bipper 1.4L Diesel · FP60 CXT

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness is currently unsatisfactory, as the MOT has failed twice in a row within the last year. The most recent test on 2026-03-06 at 206,973 miles was passed, but the failure on 2025-02-26 at 199,658 miles indicates a significant drop in performance and a clear trend of worsening condition. This pattern suggests that basic upkeep was skipped during the transition from the 2025-02-26 test date to the 2026-03-06 test date, likely due to the vehicle's high mileage and age, which accelerates wear on critical components. The mileage trajectory is characterized by a sharp accumulation of 12,936 miles per year, which is substantially higher than the 16-year age of the car. This rapid increase in mileage over the past two years suggests that the vehicle has been used for extended periods or maintained with minimal attention, leading to accelerated degradation of the drivetrain, suspension, and brakes. The gap between the two most recent tests, spanning 18 months, is marked by a failure on the third test, confirming that the vehicle has not been adequately serviced to maintain its mechanical integrity. Given the history of two consecutive failures and the high mileage accumulation, a buyer must inspect the vehicle in person to identify specific recurring faults such as binding rear brakes or structural rust. The lack of a MOT certificate on the 2025-02-26 test date implies that a previous owner may have failed to register the car, which could mean the vehicle has been stored in a garage or under a roof without proper protection. A thorough inspection is required to assess whether the braking system is still functional, if the suspension is in good condition, and whether the exhaust or exhaust emissions are compliant, as these components are often the primary targets for wear and tear at this mileage.
