2017 Citroen Berlingo 1.6L Diesel · LG67 AAU

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-05-01 at 95,382 miles recorded a pass, but a preceding test on 2025-04-29 at 95,372 miles showed a failure with no defects listed. This abrupt shift between pass and fail within 10 miles suggests either a data inconsistency or a transient issue, such as a minor fault rectified prior to the subsequent test. The absence of recorded defects in all other tests indicates a generally stable maintenance record, though the recent failure warrants scrutiny to confirm whether it reflects a genuine mechanical concern or an administrative error. The mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 9-year-old vehicle, averaging ~10,598 miles annually. A significant jump from 67,562 miles (2023-03-31) to 82,352 miles (2024-04-19) suggests accelerated usage over 13 months, which could accelerate wear on components like tyres, suspension bushes, and brake discs. Subsequent tests show steady progression to 95,382 miles, with no recurring defects noted. The sparse data between 2023 and 2025 implies minimal mechanical intervention, though this could also reflect consistent, low-risk operation. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, given the vehicle’s age and mileage, and verify brake functionality, as repeated MOTs without defects may mask gradual degradation. The exhaust system and underbody corrosion should also be checked, as these are common issues in older vehicles. While the MOT history lacks specific fault codes, the recent failure and high mileage necessitate a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical integrity.
