Model History
October 2010
Bipper goes on sale
Priced from £9,995 on-the-road. 3,959mm long x 1,684mm wide (1,816mm with mirrors out) x 1,720mm high (1,780mm with roof bars). Turning circle diameter of only 9.95 metres between kerbs.
Two trim levels. V.E.D just £35.00 on HDi 70 versions. Basically same as FIAT Qubo and Citroen Nemo Combi, but with PSA 1.4 diesel rather than FIAT 1.3 Multijet. Five seats, load capacity of 884 litres, compact dimensions, folding and removable rear seats. Combined fuel economy of 62.8 mpg with the 1.4 litre HDi 70 bhp diesel engine.
Load area has capacity of 356 litres under the rear parcel shelf which can be expanded to 884 litres with the 60 / 40 split rear bench seat folded or 2.5m3 with the rear seat removed. Two sliding side doors. 15” inch steel wheels with 185/65R15 tyres. Full size spare.
The 1.4 litre petrol engine is fitted with a 5-speed manual gearbox: the 1.4 litre HDi diesel engine is available with either a conventional 5 speed manual gearbox or electronically controlled 5 speed manual gearbox which uses an electro-hydraulic control system to ensure smooth and flexible gear changes and allow the driver to select either manual mode (gear changes controlled by the driver via the gear lever), or automatic mode (no gear changes carried out by the driver).
Driver, passenger and side airbags combined with front inertia reel seatbelts at the front (with pre-tensioners and force limiters to control the physical forces to which the occupants are exposed) and three inertia reel seat belt for the rear occupants. Since it is both necessary and compulsory to wear a seat belt, a warning lamp on the instrument panel reminds occupants to wear their seat belt and an audible warning is activated if the driver's seat belt is unfastened. Both the outer rear seats equipped with Isofix child safety seat mounting points. The passenger air bag can also be de-activated if required. An “inertia” cut-off safety system detects any sharp deceleration and, in the event of a collision, instantly disconnects the electrical power and fuel supply, thereby eliminating any possible fire risk.
Bipper Tepee is available in two trim levels S and Outdoor. The S is available with either a 1.4 litre petrol engine or a 1.4 HDi diesel engine. Standard equipment consists of: driver, passenger and side airbags, ABS, one touch electric front windows, electric heated door mirrors, remote control central locking, radio / CD player with MP3 functionality, power steering, twin glazed sliding side doors, height adjustable driver seat with armrest, rake and reach adjustable steering wheel, 60 / 40 split folding and removable rear bench seat, rear seat head restraints, 15” steel wheels with “Sketch” wheel trims
The Outdoor builds on this standard specification and is also available with both engine options. It adds the following standard equipment; suspension raised by 15 mm, larger body sill protection mouldings and side mouldings, an under–body engine protection plate, lower front panel trim, roof bars, front fog lights, manual air-conditioning
The Bipper Tepee range is available in a range of eight exterior body colours and two standard interior trims, Marie Bursa cloth (S) and Trip cloth (Outdoor).

What to watch out for
Turkish build quality issues emerging. One reader reports: "Firstly the door mouldings started coming away within the first week. I've also had an inner wheel arch lining come away and need replacing, an electric window switch also needed replacing, constant rattling from the back door hinges which needed to be replaced and now after just having it serviced there is an oil leak on the crankshaft pulley which apparently is quite common and Citroen have had a few Nemos come back because of this, due the the lack of sealant around the seal at the manufacturing process."
11-11-2011:Report of repeated failure of engine mountings of diesel version.
29-06-2012:Front Suspension Top Bearing Failure becoming common on Qubos, Nemos and Bippers.
31-12-2012:'Gong' sound means that car battery is failing to hold sufficient charge and needs to be replaced.
11-10-2013:Report that 2009 Peugeot Bipper failed MoT at 18,991 miles in 2012, needing new front brake discs and pads. Then in 2013 failed again at 25,924 miles because both front strut top bearingsd had partially seized. These parts took more than 14 days to arrive.
17-12-2019:Hesitation from Dualogic semi automatic transmission of Peugeot Bipper diesel used for short runs cured by a Forte diesel fuel additive and running on Shell diesel V-Power. Did not need a new actuator.
