Peugeot Bipper: compact van, engines and trims
Peugeot Bipper — a compact city van, produced from 2008 to 2017 alongside the Fiat Fiorino and Citroën Nemo. We look at the trims, engines, cargo area, passenger Bipper Tepee and what to check when buying a used Bipper.
Bipper in brief
Bipper — a small commercial vehicle designed for city deliveries and tradespeople. It is produced alongside the Fiat Fiorino and Citroën Nemo, so the technology is the same, but the badging and some interior details differ.
Thanks to its compact size, it's ideal for narrow streets and parking, while the cargo area is suitable for light loads and tools. The passenger version is called the Bipper Tepee.
Trims and bodies
The base trim is a van with a single row of seats and a bulkhead. Versions with fold-flat seats are also offered, which can increase the cargo area or provide more space for passengers.
Bipper has sliding doors on the right (often also on the left) and rear doors with two wings. A bulkhead net is often fitted.
Engines and gearboxes
The most common diesel engines are the 1.4 HDi (around 68–70 hp) and 1.3 HDi (Multijet, around 75 hp). A 1.4 petrol engine (around 73 hp) is also offered.
The gearbox is almost always manual. Due to its modest power, the Bipper feels best in the city and isn't too heavy on fuel.
What to check when buying a used Bipper
Body: sliding door sills, rear doors, wheel arches and cargo area floor. Commercial vehicles are often heavily used.
Check the diesel engine for injectors, turbo, DPF (if fitted) and EGR condition, and for play. The engine should start without a long crank and shouldn't smoke.
Inside the cabin, check the seats, air conditioning, electrical functions and storage compartments. Check the ride based on service records.
