2017 CITROEN BERLINGO1.6L Diesel

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following the 2026-03-27 MOT at 106,796 miles, but the immediate failure on 2026-03-25 at 106,794 miles raises concerns. The two consecutive tests at nearly identical mileages suggest potential intermittent issues or procedural discrepancies. No defects were recorded in either test, yet the rapid turnaround between failure and success implies unresolved underlying problems. The trend lacks clarity, as the most recent pass does not confirm long-term stability. The mileage of 106,796 miles over nine years aligns with average annual usage of 11,866 miles. However, a notable gap exists between the 2024-05-10 pass at 95,810 miles and the 2025-05-15 pass at 102,724 miles, covering 6,914 miles over 12 months. This suggests consistent use but also leaves a 10-month period without MOT data, during which maintenance or wear could have occurred. The 2024-05-07 failure at 95,803 miles and subsequent pass three days later at 95,810 miles is unusual, potentially indicating minor, quickly resolved faults. A buyer should inspect the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as these components often degrade with age. The brake system, including calipers and discs, warrants scrutiny, as binding or uneven wear could go undetected in MOTs lacking detailed defect listings. Structural corrosion, particularly in the underbody or chassis, should also be checked, as lower mileage can sometimes correlate with prolonged inactivity. The absence of recorded defects does not eliminate the need for a thorough mechanical inspection before purchase.
