2014 Citroen Berlingo 1.6L Diesel · BJ64 ACX

The Citroen Berlingo presents as roadworthy following the most recent DVSA test on 20 January 2026 at 74,858 miles, where the tester recorded a pass with no defects or advisories. Maintenance trend across the available history is stable, with every annual examination from January 2023 through to January 2026 returning clean results aside from an anomalous failure logged on 19 January 2026 at identical mileage yet also with no defects cited. That prior-day fail without recorded faults suggests an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical deficiency, resolved by the immediate pass next day. Odometer readings show restrained use for a twelve-year-old vehicle. The January 2023 test at 68,232 miles, January 2024 at 70,436, February 2025 at 72,767, and January 2026 at 74,858 yield an average annual increment near 2,100 miles, well below the rough 6,238 miles per year implied by total age. Such low accumulation points to light duty or extended stationary periods. The sparse five-entry record contains no gaps longer than thirteen months and no rapid mileage surges, indicating the keeper maintained timely testing discipline. A buyer should examine the Berlingo's suspension bushes, coil springs and subframe mounts for perishing or corrosion after twelve winters. Measure brake discs and calipers for lip wear and binding despite the absence of advisories. Check sills and chassis legs for structural rust, as moisture ingress on Citroen vans of this era often evades detection until advanced. The clean advisory history implies previous owners addressed wear proactively, yet the unexplained January 2026 failure warrants confirmation that the V5C and test certificate align. A pre-purchase check of tyre sidewalls, wiper function and exhaust emissions remains sensible given consumables receive no automatic notation when compliant.
