2013 Peugeot Bipper 1.2L Diesel · GL13 AAK

The vehicle is road‑worthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 13 November 2025 at 224,290 miles with no defects recorded. Earlier that year, the 16 November 2024 test flagged power‑steering hose seepage, steering rack play and tyre wear, yet the subsequent pass indicates those items were remedied, suggesting a stabilising maintenance pattern after a period of intermittent failures. Mileage has risen from 66,063 miles in July 2016 to 224,290 miles in November 2025, averaging roughly 17,000 miles per year. The progression shows no prolonged gaps, implying the car has been driven consistently rather than stored for extended periods. This high‑kilometre usage for a thirteen‑year‑old model accelerates normal wear on consumables such as tyres, brake pads and suspension components, but the record does not reveal any abrupt spikes that would indicate short‑term abuse. A prospective buyer should give particular attention to the power‑steering system: inspect the hose for active seepage and verify the steering rack inner joints for any residual play. Tyre condition warrants close scrutiny, especially the rear tyres that have repeatedly approached the legal tread limit. The shock absorbers have been noted on several occasions for light oil misting; a tactile check of damping and a visual inspection for oil on the strut bodies are advisable. The brake pedal anti‑slip provision, which failed in July 2020, should be confirmed as present and functional. Although the 2025 test reported no exhaust emission excess, a quick emissions check may reassure the buyer given the earlier failure. Finally, examine the anti‑roll bar linkage ball joint for excessive play and verify that the horn, headlamp levelling and wiper blades operate correctly, as past advisories indicate they have required attention. Overall, the MOT history shows that the majority of issues have been addressed promptly, with no recurring structural or corrosion warnings. A thorough visual and functional inspection of the steering, suspension, braking and tyre wear areas should confirm the vehicle’s continued suitability for purchase.
