2017 Citroen Berlingo 1.6L Diesel · LA17 AAY

The Citroen Berlingo presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 6 October 2025 at 132,689 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior annual tests on 5 October 2024 at 121,507 miles, 9 October 2023 at 105,668 miles, and 7 October 2022 at 85,720 miles all passed cleanly. The single failure logged on 7 October 2022 at 85,720 miles carries no recorded defects, indicating an administrative or unclassified rejection rather than a mechanical fault, and the vehicle passed on the same day under identical mileage. Annual mileage averages around 14,700 miles, which is high for a 2017 vehicle now nearing nine years old. The odometer climbed from 85,720 miles in October 2022 to 105,668 miles in October 2023, then 121,507 miles in October 2024, and 132,689 miles in October 2025, showing consistent yearly use of roughly 15,000 to 16,000 miles with no standing gaps. The MOT data is sparse on advisories, as every test beyond the anomalous 2022 failure lists no worn tyres, corroded structures, or failing emissions, suggesting the previous keeper kept consumables within limits. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc wear given the sustained high mileage and light-duty van classification. The absence of recorded advisories across four years does not preclude latent corrosion on sills or subframes, nor hidden drivetrain fatigue from continuous motorway loading. Verify the 2022 failure paperwork to confirm no suppressed defect, then assess tyre tread depth and binding calipers manually before purchase.
