2015 CITROEN BERLINGO1.6L Diesel

The Citroën Berlingo’s most recent MOT test, conducted on 2025-05-30 at 125,635 miles , confirms it passed without defects, though it was previously failed on 2025-05-24 at just 125,390 miles —a six-day gap with identical mileage, suggesting a retest rather than genuine progress. The vehicle’s history shows an otherwise stable pattern over the past two years, with no recurring advisories or major faults. The 2023 tests —both passed and failed on the same date—appear anomalous and may indicate a temporary administrative or tester error rather than mechanical issues, as no defects were logged. The 2024 and 2025 passes without failings suggest consistent compliance with MOT standards, though the retest hints at either a rushed inspection or a minor oversight that was quickly rectified. The recorded mileage of 125,635 miles over 11 years averages 11,421 miles per year , which is typical for a vehicle of this age and usage class. There are no significant gaps or spikes in mileage between tests, with the largest interval— 12,922 miles —between the 2024-06-08 and 2025-05-30 tests, covering 11 months . This steady accumulation implies regular use rather than prolonged neglect or storage, though it also means higher wear on components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers. The 2023 duplicate tests at identical mileage are unusual and warrant scrutiny, as they could imply either a genuine oversight or a vehicle that was briefly out of service for unrelated reasons. Given the lack of recorded defects, the most critical areas for an in-person inspection should focus on suspension integrity —particularly the rear suspension bushes and coil springs , given the vehicle’s age and mileage—alongside rear brake binding , which was flagged in the 2023 retest (if the anomaly was mechanical). The exhaust system should be checked for corrosion or leaks, as older Citroën models are prone to rust in underbody components. Structural corrosion around wheel arches and sills is also a concern, especially if the vehicle has seen wet or salted roads. While the MOT history suggests no major failures, tyre condition —particularly the tread depth—should be verified, as the 2023 retest implies past scrutiny in this area. A thorough check of fluid levels (brake, power steering, coolant) and electrical connections (lights, sensors) is advisable, as these are common failure points in older vans. The 2025 retest indicates no unresolved issues, but a professional inspection will confirm whether any hidden wear—such as warped brake discs or worn steering rack seals —has developed since the last test.
