2003 Citroen Berlingo 1.6L Petrol · BX53 AVP

The Citroen Berlingo shows a stable roadworthiness trend with its most recent test on 17 September 2021 at 124,828 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. The vehicle has not presented any advisories or mechanical faults across the available history, indicating consistent compliance with MOT standards over the observed period. No worsening or recurring defect patterns appear in the data. Recorded mileage sits at 124,828 against a 23-year lifespan, equating to roughly 5,427 miles per year and marking this van as low-use for its age. The gap between the 2020 and 2021 tests shows only 4,249 miles added, while 2019 to 2020 saw 4,471 miles. The two failed tests in September 2019 and September 2020 were logged with zero defects recorded, suggesting administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical rejection. The clean pass sheets across all years reflect sparse but unproblematic official data. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and corrosion given the vehicle's 2003 manufacture date and the five-year lapse since the last test. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs will have aged irrespective of low mileage and may suffer from perishing through prolonged standing. The absence of advisories in the record does not exempt the Berlingo from age-related degradation now outside the MOT window. Exhaust emissions and drivetrain components warrant physical verification before purchase, as the low annual mileage implies irregular use that can accelerate moisture ingress and fluid contamination. Previous keepers maintained basic statutory compliance, yet the static record offers no insight into consumable condition beyond the test dates cited.
