2016 CITROEN BERLINGO 850 EN-PRISE BLUEHDI1.6L DIESEL

The vehicle presents a stable and reassuring roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 23 October 2025 at 104,116 miles passed with zero defects, indicating no active mechanical or structural concerns at that time. A minor anomaly exists in the record: a failed test on 17 October 2025 at 103,970 miles with no defects recorded, which typically indicates an administrative error, an abandoned test, or a failure to present the correct documentation rather than a mechanical fault. The subsequent clean pass six days later confirms the vehicle met all standards shortly thereafter. The maintenance trend is stable, with no recurring defects or advisories across the entire history. The mileage accumulation is consistent and typical for a ten-year-old commercial vehicle. From 79,792 miles in October 2022 to 104,116 miles in October 2025, the vehicle covered approximately 24,324 miles over three years, averaging around 8,100 miles annually. This is slightly below the stated 10,412 miles per year average but reflects a plausible pattern of regular, moderate use rather than prolonged standing or excessive high-mileage operation. No significant gaps or sudden spikes in the odometer readings are apparent, suggesting continuous and relatively steady usage. Given the complete absence of recorded defects across five consecutive MOT tests, there are no recurring mechanical or structural faults to flag. The clean record implies that major components such as the braking system, suspension, steering, exhaust emissions, and structural integrity have remained within acceptable tolerances throughout the documented period. The diesel particulate filter and emissions control system, common points of concern for BlueHDI engines, have consistently met required standards. Despite the clean paperwork, a prospective buyer should conduct a physical inspection focused on typical wear areas for a high-mileage commercial van. Check the condition of the rear suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, inspect the brake discs and pads for uneven wear or binding, and examine the exhaust system for corrosion or leaks. Inspect the bodywork and underframe for any signs of structural rust, particularly around load-bearing points and wheel arches. Verify the operation of all lights, wipers, and washers, and assess the tyre condition and tread depth, as these consumable items are not always reflected in MOT records. A test drive should confirm smooth clutch operation, gearbox function, and the absence of unusual vibrations or noises from the drivetrain.
