2016 Citroen Berlingo 1.6L Diesel · FD65 AEG

The 2016 Citroen Berlingo presents a stable roadworthiness profile, with no defects recorded in its most recent March 2026 MOT at 39,668 miles. The prior tests from 2025, 2024, and 2023 also passed without issues, indicating consistent maintenance. A single failed test in February 2024 at 32,115 miles is noted, but no defects were logged, suggesting either a procedural error or a non-critical failure. The absence of recurring mechanical or structural concerns in the last three years implies the vehicle has been well-maintained, though the low mileage raises questions about usage patterns. The vehicle’s 39,668 miles over 10 years equates to approximately 3,967 miles annually, significantly below the UK average for its age. This low mileage aligns with a gradual increase in recorded distances, such as the 7,000-mile jump between the 2023 test (25,150 miles) and the 2024 test (32,115 miles). Such gaps may indicate periods of inactivity or inconsistent driving, which can lead to component degradation not captured in standard MOT checks. The clean record since 2023 suggests no urgent mechanical risks, but the sparse data from earlier years limits a full assessment of long-term wear. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as low mileage can mask hidden fatigue in these components. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for corrosion or binding, particularly if the vehicle has been stationary for extended periods. Corrosion in the exhaust system or underbody is another potential risk, given the lack of frequent use. While the MOT history shows no critical failures, the low mileage and sporadic testing intervals mean a physical inspection is essential to confirm the vehicle’sTrue condition.
