Looking at a Bipper?

Population figures cannot tell you whether one particular car is taxed, MOT-valid or safe to buy.

Check its registration free for the official tax, MOT and mileage record. If the car is still worth pursuing, the optional £9.99 full history check adds outstanding-finance, stolen and insurance write-off checks.

Wondering whether one particular Bipper is off the road? A free SORN check shows whether it is currently SORN, taxed or untaxed.

Is the Bipper disappearing?

Licensed numbers peaked at 28,119 in 2017 Q3 and stand at 14,921 in 2026 Q1, down 47%. That is down 39% in the five years since 2021 Q1. A further 3,321 are declared SORN — 1 in 5 of the 18,242 still on the DVLA record is off the road, laid up, part-restored or waiting to be sold.

A falling population is worth knowing before you buy: it usually means fewer donor cars, fewer specialists and slower parts supply, and it is why a good example of a scarce model can hold its price while a neglected one is hard to sell at any price.

Bipper MOT pass rate

In 2024, 57.1% of 17,148 Peugeot Bipper MOTs passed first time — below the 71.2% UK average. Pass rate moves with age: 60.7% of cars aged 6–9 years passed first time, against 52.3% aged 15–30 years.

  • Springs — 8% of tests. A broken or sagging coil spring. Replaced in pairs, so it is not the cheapest failure.
  • Shock Absorbers — 7.8% of tests. Leaking or worn dampers. Replaced in pairs and noticeable in how the car rides.
  • Position Lamps — 7% of tests. A side or tail light out. Usually a bulb.
  • Washers — 5.5% of tests. Empty or blocked washers. Trivial, but again a sign of the last owner's care.
