2008 CITROEN BERLINGO1.6L Diesel

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-04-16 at 108,632 miles showed a pass with no defects, but this followed a failure just seven days earlier at 108,595 miles, which also recorded no defects. This abrupt shift suggests potential issues with testing procedures, temporary faults, or rapid resolution of minor problems. The lack of recorded defects across all tests indicates no significant structural or mechanical risks, but the proximity of the failure and subsequent pass raises questions about the reliability of the latest assessment. The car’s roadworthiness appears stable, though the absence of a valid MOT as of 2026-07-18 means its current compliance status is unknown. The mileage progression aligns with an average of 6,035 miles annually, reflecting typical usage for an 18-year-old vehicle. The records show consistent annual testing, with gaps of approximately one year between assessments. The 2023-01-27 test at 97,744 miles and the 2024-01-29 test at 102,132 miles indicate steady mileage accumulation, though the 2024-01-25 failure at 101,948 miles suggests a minor issue resolved before the subsequent pass. No recurring defects or patterns of deterioration are evident, implying no systemic mechanical decline. The data is sparse but clean, with no major red flags in the recorded history. A buyer should inspect the suspension components, particularly the rear coil springs and bushings, which are common wear points in older Citroen models. The brake system, including calipers and discs, warrants scrutiny due to the vehicle’s age and mileage. Exhaust emissions and corrosion, especially around the chassis and underbody, should also be checked, as these are typical concerns for vehicles of this vintage. While the MOT history shows no critical failures, the lack of a valid test since 2025-04-16 means the car’s current condition cannot be confirmed without a fresh inspection.
