2015 Peugeot Bipper 1.2L Diesel · PY65 AVK

The 2015 Peugeot Bipper presents a mixed maintenance picture, with the most recent MOT on 25 March 2025 passing at 118,546 miles after an initial failure on the same day for an empty windscreen washer reservoir. That same-day retest also carried forward advisories for worn front brake discs and a corroded silencer outer skin, indicating the tester considered these items within acceptable limits but worthy of monitoring. The overall trend is neither clearly improving nor sharply deteriorating, but rather one of steady, age-related wear that has been partially addressed between tests. The mileage progression tells a consistent story. From 104,079 miles on 13 March 2023 to 115,089 miles on 25 March 2024, the vehicle covered roughly 11,000 miles in twelve months. The jump to 118,546 miles by 25 March 2025 represents only about 3,457 miles in the following year, suggesting either lighter use or a period of reduced activity. The 2024 failure at 115,099 miles was notably more serious than surrounding tests, flagging an oil leak, fractured nearside front coil spring, worn brake pads and discs, and a knocking noise from the offside front shock absorber. The subsequent 2025 pass at 118,546 miles with no suspension or braking failures suggests those items were repaired, yet the front brake disc wear advisory has persisted across three consecutive test cycles. Buyers should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension and braking components. The fractured coil spring and knocking shock absorber noted in March 2024 may have been replaced, but the continued appearance of worn front brake discs in both 2024 and 2025 tests points to either a recurring issue or a pattern of deferred disc replacement when pads are changed. Check for uneven tyre wear, play in front suspension bushes, and any residual knocking over sharp bumps. The corroded silencer outer skin advisory has appeared in both 2025 tests, so examine the full exhaust system for perforation, particularly around joints and the rear box. Verify the engine bay for fresh oil residue around the rocker cover gasket and sump, given the 2024 oil leak failure. Finally, confirm both front position lamps function correctly, as both failed in March 2024 and a recurrence would indicate an underlying wiring or earth fault rather than simple bulb failure.
