2010 Peugeot Bipper S HDI

CarHunch analysed 132 real MOT records for the 2010 Peugeot Bipper S HDI. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

The 2010 Peugeot Bipper S HDI fails MOT on first attempt 59.4% of the time—significantly below the UK average of 80%—which signals a reliability problem buyers need to take seriously. The good news is that dangerous defects are rare, but recurring failures are common enough that you should budget for regular repairs.

These vans are running at a median of 111,636 miles, which is reasonable for their age, yet owners average just over one failure per MOT visit, suggesting wear-and-tear issues rather than catastrophic problems. Before buying one, get a full pre-purchase inspection by a diesel specialist, particularly checking suspension and brake components, since minor defects rack up faster than on comparable vehicles.

What to check before buying a 2010 Peugeot Bipper S HDI

Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.

  • 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
  • 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
  • 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
  • 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
