Our Verdict
This Citroen Berlingo is a sensible choice for those needing a practical diesel workhorse. While the mileage is significant, the recent MOT history shows a consistent pattern of passing with no recorded defects.
When viewing this vehicle, focus on verifying the service history to ensure the 1.6L diesel engine has received regular oil changes, which is critical for high-mileage units. Because the MOT history shows no recorded defects, you should still check for any signs of fluid leaks or unusual engine noises that an MOT inspector might not catch.
Negotiate based on the mileage; while the records are clean, 102,755 miles is a milestone where certain wear-and-tear components, such as the clutch or suspension bushings, may be nearing the end of their typical service life. Ask the seller specifically about the timing belt (cambelt) replacement interval for this specific engine.
As a 1.6L diesel, this Berlingo is designed for efficiency, particularly on longer motorway journeys. You can expect relatively competitive fuel economy, though actual figures will depend on load and driving style.
Tax and insurance groups for this model are generally moderate, making it a cost-effective option for small businesses or families. Budget for regular diesel particulate filter (DPF) maintenance if the vehicle is used primarily for short urban trips, and anticipate standard maintenance costs for a vehicle of this age and mileage.
The MOT history for FV16AAY is unusually clean, with no defects recorded in the last four tests, including the most recent in May 2025. However, you should manually inspect the tyres, brake pads, and wipers, as these are common items that can be near a failure threshold even if they passed the test.
Check the underside of the vehicle for any signs of corrosion or leaks, and inspect the engine bay for any evidence of recent repairs. Given the 102,755 miles recorded, pay close attention to the suspension components and the condition of the drive belts.
Registered in May 2016, this brown 1.6L diesel Berlingo has covered 102,755 miles over its ten-year lifespan. The MOT history is notably clean, with the last four annual tests passing without recorded defects. Given the mileage, it has been used regularly, averaging roughly 10,000 miles per year.
