2021 Citroen Berlingo 650 EN-Prise Bhdi SS 1.5L Diesel · TGZ 4016

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test on 2025-12-13 at 86,490 miles confirms it remains roadworthy with no defects recorded. This suggests a stable maintenance history over the past year, as the previous test on 2024-10-22 at 74,275 miles also passed without failings. The absence of advisories or recurring issues implies that major components—such as suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake calipers—have not been compromised by excessive wear or corrosion. However, the lack of MOT records beyond these two tests means there is no visibility into intermediate maintenance, leaving potential hidden wear unaccounted for. The recorded mileage of 86,490 miles over approximately five years equates to an average of around 17,298 miles annually, which is notably higher than the typical usage for a vehicle of this age. This suggests either consistent commercial or heavy personal use, which could accelerate wear on consumables like tyres, brake discs, and suspension components. The gap between tests—just over two years—is within DVSA guidelines, but the absence of earlier records means there is no way to confirm whether earlier owners maintained the vehicle regularly or deferred necessary servicing. Given the sparse MOT history, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of high-wear items, particularly the suspension system for worn bushes or degraded coil springs, as these are common failure points at this mileage. The brakes should be checked for uneven wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has been used for heavy loads. Tyre condition is critical—failing twice on tread depth in prior tests (if any) would indicate neglect, so verifying current tread depth and uniformity is essential. Structural integrity, particularly around wheel arches and sills, should be examined for corrosion, as this van model is prone to rust in these areas. Finally, the exhaust system and emissions should be inspected for leaks or excessive smoke, as these are often overlooked until they fail an MOT.
