2010 Citroen Berlingo 625 EN-Prise HDI Heavy oil · JIG 8100

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2024-09-14 at 123,145 miles showed a pass with no defects, but the preceding tests in 2024-08-18 and 2024-07-03 both failed without recorded issues. This pattern suggests potential inconsistencies in testing or unresolved minor faults that were not documented. While the latest result is positive, the lack of detailed defect reports for the failures limits clarity on underlying mechanical health. The absence of structural, brake, or suspension issues in the 2023-03-21 test at 114,413 miles indicates a stable period, but the 2024 failures raise questions about maintenance continuity. The vehicle’s mileage of 123,145 miles over 16 years aligns with an average of 7,697 miles annually, reflecting typical usage for its age. However, the 2023-03-21 test to 2024-09-14 span saw a 8,732-mile increase, suggesting a sudden spike in usage. This could indicate periods of heavy reliance or irregular servicing, though no specific wear patterns are flagged in the records. The sparse defect data for the 2024 failures complicates assessing whether this mileage jump coincided with mechanical stress, such as suspension bush wear or brake component fatigue. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as these are common wear points in older vans. The lack of brake-related defects in the 2023 test does not preclude latent issues, given the 2024 failures. Corrosion, particularly in the exhaust system or underbody, warrants scrutiny, as it often progresses unnoticed. The absence of structural integrity reports in the MOT history means a physical inspection is critical to confirm no hidden damage. Overall, the vehicle appears roadworthy but requires thorough examination to address potential unresolved faults.
