2016 Peugeot Bipper 1.2L Diesel · LN16 FSD

The vehicle remains currently roadworthy having passed its most recent test in April 2026 at 112,567 miles. However, the records indicate a worsening trend regarding structural integrity in the rear suspension area. While the 2025 test noted corrosion on a rear suspension component and axle, the 2026 inspection specifically identified corrosion on the rear suspension spring mounting prescribed area. This progression suggests that surface rust is becoming active and will require close monitoring to prevent a structural failure failure in future MOT tests. The mileage pattern is consistent with a typical urban-use vehicle, averaging approximately 11,000 miles per annum. The data shows steady accumulation, moving from 86,733 miles in February 2022 to 112,567 miles by April 2026. There are no significant gaps in the testing history, suggesting the vehicle has been used regularly rather than sitting for long periods. This consistent usage often leads to more predictable wear on rubber components and consumable parts, which aligns with the advisories noted in 2025. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the rear suspension mounting points to assess the depth of the corrosion flagged in the latest report. Because the tester described the corrosion as not yet excessive, there is a window for preventative treatment, but the metal thinning is a verified concern. Additionally, the 2025 advisories regarding perishing and cracking on the offside rear and nearside front tyres indicate that the rubber may be reaching the age limit regardless of tread depth. Checking the sidewalls for further dry rot is essential to ensure the tyres are safe for high-speed driving.
