2008 Peugeot Bipper 1.4L Diesel · YT08 HTV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a transition from reactive repairs to preventative monitoring. The most recent test in December 2025 at 106,061 miles saw the car pass with advisories regarding an offside front suspension arm bush and windscreen damage. This represents an improvement over the September 2023 failure, where multiple mechanical and lighting defects were identified. The subsequent clean pass suggests that the current owner has addressed the previous critical safety failures effectively. At 106,061 miles, this eighteen-year-old Peugeot has averaged approximately 5,900 miles per year, which is significantly below the national average for its age. The data shows a notable period of activity between November 2024 and December 2025, where the vehicle covered roughly 7,500 miles in thirteen months. This low annual mileage suggests limited wear on the engine and major drivetrain components, but it also increases the likelihood of degradation in rubber components and seals due to inactivity, as evidenced by the worn suspension bush noted in the 2025 test. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension geometry, as the record indicates a history of wear on the offside front ball joint and arm bushes. The 2023 failure regarding the parking brake efficiency only just meeting the threshold warrants a physical check of the handbrake cables and drums to ensure they are not seizing or poorly adjusted. Given the age of the vehicle and the low mileage, a thorough inspection for corrosion on the sills and rear structural members is essential, as low-use vehicles often suffer from surface rust that remains undetected without regular driving.
