2016 Citroen Berlingo 1.6L Diesel · PG16 AHZ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following its most recent MOT pass on 23 July 2026 at 31,088 miles, which recorded no defects. While the history shows intermittent mechanical issues, the maintenance trend appears to be resolving. The tester identified a fractured offside rear coil spring during the July 2024 test at 28,445 miles, which caused an immediate failure, but this was rectified to achieve a pass. A subsequent advisory in July 2025 at 30,000 miles noted a worn nearside front lower suspension arm bush, yet the clean result in 2026 suggests this component has since been addressed or the movement remains within acceptable tolerances. The mileage accumulation is exceptionally low for a 2016 vehicle, averaging approximately 3,100 miles per year. The data shows a consistent, slow increase from 11,692 miles in July 2019 to the current 31,088 miles. This pattern indicates light usage or extended periods of inactivity. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, it can sometimes lead to neglected maintenance of rubber components or fluid degradation due to lack of thermal cycling. The record shows no significant gaps in testing, with annual inspections maintained consistently since 2019. A prospective buyer should focus an inspection on the suspension system to ensure the previous issues with the coil spring and suspension arm bush have been professionally resolved. Given the low annual mileage, I recommend checking the condition of all rubber bushes and seals, as these can perish from age rather than mechanical wear. It is also prudent to inspect the underside for any signs of corrosion or fluid leaks that may have developed during periods of low use. The 2019 advisory regarding engine covers and under trays suggests that while the vehicle is generally well-kept, some components may have been obscured from view during previous inspections.
