2010 Peugeot Bipper 1.4L Diesel · YY10 ONG

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status but the maintenance history reveals a trend of structural degradation and deferred repairs. While the most recent test in March 2026 at 109,264 miles passed, it flagged multiple advisory items including perished tyres and worn front inner brake discs. The transition from a clean record in June 2024 to a multi-point failure in June 2025 suggests a period of performing only the minimum necessary to pass inspections rather than addressing underlying wear before it escalated. At 109,264 miles over 16 years, the Peugeot Blipper averages approximately 6,800 miles per year, which is consistent with low-intensity urban use. The data shows a recent increase in activity, with nearly 5,000 miles covered between June 2024 and July 2025, and another 3,700 miles leading up to the latest March test. However, the low mileage has not prevented the effects of age on rubber and metal components, as evidenced by recurring suspension and structural corrosion failures. A buyer must prioritise a thorough inspection of the rear suspension mountings. The June 2025 failure identified significant corrosion on the nearside and offside rear spring mountings that threatened vehicle control. Although this was rectified for the subsequent pass, structural rust in these areas is progressive and often spreads to adjacent chassis points. Furthermore, the nearside front track rod end dust cover noted in March 2026 indicates that steering components are beginning to perish, requiring proactive replacement. Immediate attention is also required for the braking and consumable items. The record shows a pattern of tyres being run to legal limits or cracking, suggesting the previous owner did not replace them until forced by the tester. The worn inner brake discs flagged in the latest test indicate the braking system is nearing the end of its functional life. Ensure the offside rear seat belt anchorage repair from 2025 was professionally executed, as this was a critical safety failure that previously lacked required structural integrity.
