2013 CITROEN BERLINGO1.6L Diesel

The Citroën Berlingo’s most recent MOT test on 2025-05-13, at 134,806 miles, confirms it remains roadworthy with no defects recorded. Over the past three annual tests—all passing without fail—there is no evidence of recurring mechanical failures or worsening conditions. The absence of advisories or repeated faults suggests the vehicle has been maintained consistently, though the 2023 duplicate entry (a failed test followed immediately by a pass at the same mileage) is unusual and warrants clarification. The most recent test is just over two years old, which is acceptable but not ideal given the vehicle’s age; routine checks between MOTs would be prudent. The recorded mileage progression shows steady usage, averaging roughly 10,370 miles annually, a rate typical for a vehicle of this age. There are no significant gaps in service intervals, and the mileage increments between tests remain consistent. The lack of any failed tests between 2022 and 2025 indicates no abrupt deterioration, though the 2023 duplicate entry—where the vehicle failed once before passing immediately—could imply a minor oversight rather than a mechanical issue. No advisories or partial passes suggest no deferred maintenance has been neglected. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of high-wear components not covered by the MOT, such as suspension bushes and coil springs for stiffness or cracking, particularly at the rear where binding brakes were flagged in the 2023 duplicate test. The brake discs and calipers should be examined for uneven wear or corrosion, as repeated braking issues could indicate poor fluid maintenance or binding callipers. Structural integrity, especially around wheel arches and sills, should be checked for corrosion, given the vehicle’s age and typical exposure risks. Finally, the exhaust system should be inspected for leaks or excessive rust, as emissions systems are not fully tested under MOT unless they fail outright.
