2014 Peugeot Bipper 1.2L Diesel · WK14 TSY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the recent history reveals a period of reactive rather than proactive maintenance. While it passed its most recent test in December 2025 at 113,619 miles, this followed a significant failure just two weeks prior. The failure in November 2025 was extensive, involving multiple lighting faults, emission issues, and critical braking and mechanical defects. The trend suggests the vehicle is only being repaired when necessitated by an MOT failure, as evidenced by the high volume of defects that remained unaddressed between annual inspections. At 113,619 miles over 12 years, the Peugeot Bipper averages approximately 9,500 miles per year, which aligns with typical national averages for a small city car. There is a noticeable gap in the records between December 2021 and November 2023, during which the vehicle covered roughly 4,000 miles. The consistent mileage accumulation of about 5,000 miles per year seen between late 2023 and late 2025 indicates the vehicle is in regular use, which explains the wear on rubber components and braking components. A buyer must focus specifically on the front suspension and braking system. The nearside front anti-roll bar linkage has appeared as a recurring issue for years, moving from slight play in 2024 to a severely deteriorated dust cover by late 2025. This indicates the suspension components are reaching the end of their life. Furthermore, the 2025 failure highlighted imbalanced rear brakes and a lagging offside rear service brake, alongside thin front pads. A physical inspection should verify that the recent repairs actually resolved the brake imbalance and that the supplementary restraint system fault from 2025 was properly rectified, given the critical nature of airbag warning lamps.
