2012 Peugeot Bipper S HDI Diesel · LS12 AEP

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available MOT history. The most recent test conducted on 31 May 2022 at 69,193 miles passed pass with no recorded defects or advisories. This indicates a consistent standard of maintenance over the last several inspection cycles, as the vehicle has avoided any mechanical or structural failures in the last three recorded tests. The mileage pattern is notably low for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,000 miles per year. Between September 2018 at 48,106 miles and December 2019 at 56,894 miles, the car covered 8,788 miles. The gap between the December 2019 and May 2022 tests shows an additional 12,299 miles covered over thirty months. This low annual usage suggests light urban commuting, which typically preserves components like the drivetrain and suspension, though it can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based parts due to age. Since the MOT record is clean of recurring faults, a physical inspection should focus on components affected by age rather than high mileage. A buyer should check for early signs of corrosion on the sills and exhaust system, as low-use vehicles often suffer from surface rust. Given the low mileage, inspect the brake discs for pitting or corrosion and verify the suspension bushes for cracking. Ensure the tyres are not perished from age, as rubber hardens over time regardless of the tread depth remains.
