Is the Peugeot Bipper ULEZ Compliant?
Based on 22,033 MOT tests, around 14% of Peugeot Bippers still on the road are likely to meet London's ULEZ standards, and about 63% are likely to be charged. For the remaining 23%, it depends on the exact Euro standard or month of registration.
The fuel mix matters: tested cars were 99% diesel. Diesel Bippers are generally compliant from 2016, while diesel cars from 2013 or earlier are likely to be charged.

How ULEZ rules apply to the Bipper
Cars that miss the standard pay £12.50 for each day they're driven in the zone. Petrol and petrol-hybrid cars need Euro 4 (most from 2006), while diesels need Euro 6 (most from September 2015).
- Diesel (99% of Bippers tested): likely compliant from 2016; 2013 and earlier are likely to be charged.
- Petrol (1% of Bippers tested): every year in our data is likely to comply.
Bippers from 2014 and 2015 sit on the boundary (23% of those tested): some were built to the required standard before it became compulsory. The Euro standard is sometimes on the V5C logbook, or Peugeot can confirm it. Our ULEZ calculator can help.

Buying a used Peugeot Bipper for London: what the MOT data shows
The Peugeot Bippers in this data were first registered between 2008 and 2018. 2011 was the most common year, with 4,213 tests (19% of the total), and half were registered in 2012 or later.
Bippers from likely-compliant years passed their MOT first time 61% of the time, at an average of 83,004 miles. Older ones likely to be charged passed 56% of the time with 112,282 miles on average, so a compliant car is usually the more reliable buy as well as the cheaper one to drive in London.
On a budget, the oldest diesel Bippers likely to comply are from 2016. 1,359 of them were tested; 2016 cars passed first time 61% of the time and averaged 94,985 miles. Check the Euro standard on the V5C before you buy one from around then.
Whichever year you choose, check the Bipper's weak spots. The most common MOT failures were suspension: "fractured or broken" (10.2% of tests) and "has an excessively worn bush" (5.5%); lights and electrics: "not working" (9.4%). The most frequent advisory was "tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm", on 21.0% of tests.
Overall, 57% of Bippers passed first time, well below the 71% average for all cars, and they had covered 105,106 miles on average, more than the 73,145-mile average.
