2012 Citroen Berlingo 1.6L Diesel · LD62 AAO

The Citroen Berlingo passed its most recent MOT on 6 September 2025 at 197,830 miles with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend across the available history reads as stable with no escalating mechanical concerns. The vehicle carries a clean test sheet at present. Prior to that pass, the tester failed it on 5 September 2025 at 197,733 miles yet logged no defects, a pattern repeated exactly one year earlier when the 6 September 2024 pass at 184,997 miles followed a 5 September 2024 fail at 184,994 miles with no faults noted. Such back-to-back administrative fails with zero recorded defects suggest clerical or presentation issues at the testing station rather than latent vehicle faults. At roughly 14 years old the Berlingo shows 197,830 miles, an average of about 14,131 miles per year, which is high for a 2012 light commercial derivative and points to sustained daily use rather than sporadic running. The record jumps from 141,928 miles at the 31 August 2022 pass to 184,994 miles by September 2024, an accumulation of over 43,000 miles in two years with no intermediate test lodged. That gap denies the buyer visibility of consumable and drivetrain condition through the 2023 cycle. From 2024 to 2025 the van added only 12,836 miles, a slight easing of annual use. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the mileage and the unseen 2023 period where corrosion or binding calipers could have developed unnoticed. The high overall distance means exhaust emissions components and structural integrity around sills and subframes warrant close checking for rust. Although the recent tests flag nothing, the sparse history and repeated no-defect fails mean previous owners likely relied on minimal intervention between tests rather than proactive upkeep.
