2012 CITROEN BERLINGO1.6L Diesel

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile in recent years, with the most recent test in June 2026 at 103,362 miles resulting in only a minor failure for an inoperative registration plate lamp. This is a recurring issue also noted in 2023. Between 2023 and 2025, the vehicle passed two inspections with no recorded defects, suggesting that the mechanical and structural issues previously flagged have since been effectively maintained. The lack of advisories in the last three tests indicates the vehicle is currently in a good state of operational compliance. At 103,362 miles over 14 years, the Berlingo covers an average of approximately 7,400 miles per year, which is consistent with typical usage for a light commercial of this age. The record shows a period of significant neglect between 2019 and 2022, where the vehicle frequently failed due to a variety of issues including fractured coil springs, worn brake pads, and perished tyres. However, the mileage progression has remained steady, and the shift to clean passes from 2023 onwards suggests a more proactive approach to vehicle upkeep by the current owner. A buyer should note that the steering components, specifically the offside front steering linkage ball joint, previously showed excessive play in 2023. While the vehicle passed the subsequent tests, the history of significant tyre damage and brake wear in 2022 highlights that the suspension and braking systems have been subject to heavy use. The recurring mention of missing rear seats over several years indicates the vehicle was used strictly as a work van, which warrants a close inspection of the rear floor corrosion and load-related wear in the wheel arches.
