2013 Peugeot Bipper 1.2L Diesel · KM63 YJF

The most recent MOT on 2025-05-13 recorded multiple defects despite the vehicle passing. Key issues included an inoperative offside rear registration plate lamp, a non-excessive oil leak, a defective spare tyre, and wear on both front and rear suspension components. Similar defects were noted in the prior MOT on 2025-05-09, which resulted in a failure. The recurring problems involve suspension bushes, shock absorbers, and lighting systems, suggesting ongoing mechanical degradation. A pattern of suspension-related issues emerges, including worn bushes, oil misting on shock absorbers, and rough suspension mounts. These defects, while not immediately critical, indicate progressive wear that could compromise handling and safety over time. The oil leak, though described as non-excessive, may signal developing faults in seals or gaskets. The spare tyre’s defect and minor tyre damage further highlight potential safety risks. The trend shows a shift from isolated issues in earlier MOTs (e.g., a 2022 brake pipe corrosion) to multiple, interconnected faults in 2025. While the 2025-05-13 MOT passed, the persistence of similar defects between the two tests suggests the vehicle’s condition has not improved.
