2017 Peugeot Bipper 1.2L Diesel · MV67 ETF

This 2017 Peugeot Bipper presents a mixed roadworthiness picture, with the maintenance trend showing steady accumulation of consumable wear rather than sudden structural decline. In the October 2025 test at 116,123 miles, the vehicle secured a pass carrying advisory notices for a damaged windscreen, a slightly interacting nearside rear position lamp, an offside front inner tyre worn near the legal limit, and thin front brake pads. Previous test results reveal occasional failures, notably a September 2023 refusal at 94,142 miles due to illegal front tyre tread depths, a missing wiper, and a severely worn offside front suspension top mount, alongside a September 2020 failure for misaligned headlamps. Annual mileage accumulation has run consistently high throughout the working life of the van, averaging nearly thirteen thousand miles per year and totaling 116,123 recorded miles by July 2026. The vehicle covered 13,843 miles between September 2023 and October 2024, followed by another rapid accumulation of 12,538 miles leading up to the October 2025 test. This intensive operational tempo explains the frequent recurrence of consumable items reaching their service limits, though the vehicle has maintained a reliable pass record following initial defect rectifications at testing stations. Prospective buyers must prioritize a physical inspection of the front axle assembly, specifically checking the brake pads noted as thin in the latest test and verifying the condition of the suspension top mounts given the historical failure in 2023. Tyre management requires close scrutiny since multiple tests from 2020, 2022, 2024, and 2025 document front and rear rubber worn to or below legal limits, pointing to a previous pattern of running tyres down to the wire. Buyers should also inspect the windscreen for crack propagation from the damage logged in 2025 and test all exterior lighting circuits to ensure the minor electrical quirks noted on the rear lamps do not indicate underlying earth faults.
