2016 Peugeot Bipper 1.2L Diesel · LL65 OTW

The vehicle remains roadworthy but exhibits a worsening trend in mechanical wear across the suspension and exhaust systems. While the most recent test in October 2025 at 216,032 miles passed, the exhaust leak and corrosion on both rear coil springs persisted alongside a worn offside front Macpherson strut pin. These issues are continuations from the February 2025 test, where the same springs and exhaust flexi pipe were flagged, indicating that the owner is deferring repairs on deteriorating components. The mileage profile is exceptionally high for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 21,600 miles per year. Between February 2022 and February 2025, the car covered 27,669 miles in just three years, suggesting consistent high-mileage usage that places significant strain on the drivetrain and chassis components. The 2024 test at 207,681 miles was a clean outlier, but the subsequent appearance of multiple suspension faults in the following twelve months suggests the vehicle is now entering a stage of accelerated component failure due to high mileage. A buyer must personally inspect the vehicle for the structural integrity of the rear coil springs, as the recorded corrosion across two consecutive tests often leads to sudden fractures. The recurring exhaust leak at the front flexi pipe requires a thorough check to prevent a future emission failure or excessive noise. Furthermore, the history of oil leaks noted between 2022 and 2023 indicates that the engine bay should be examined for active weeping that could indicate gasket failure. Given the history of play in the anti-roll bar linkage and strut top mounts, a full inspection of the front suspension geometry is necessary to ensure no further lateral play has developed.
