2015 Citroen Berlingo 1.6L Diesel · XIB 7788

This Citroën Berlingo has maintained a consistent roadworthiness record over the past four MOT cycles, with no defects or advisories recorded in any of the tests conducted between July 2022 and September 2025. The most recent MOT, passed on 15 September 2025 at 94,952 miles , confirms the vehicle remains compliant with current UK standards. There is no evidence of recurring mechanical issues, and the absence of advisories suggests previous owners have addressed any minor wear before it escalated. However, the final test date is now nearly nine months out of date , placing the vehicle 11 months past its MOT expiry as of July 2026. While the record shows no red flags, an expired MOT means the vehicle has not been officially verified for roadworthiness since September 2025, and any unseen deterioration—particularly in suspension components, brake systems, or structural integrity—could now exist. The mileage progression of 8,632 miles per year aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, with no abrupt spikes or prolonged periods of inactivity. The most significant gap between tests occurred between the July 2022 (65,424 miles) and September 2023 (73,463 miles) MOTs , covering 7,939 miles in 14 months , which is slightly above the average but not alarming. The consistency in mileage accumulation suggests the vehicle has been driven regularly rather than left stationary for extended periods, which could have accelerated wear on fluids, tyres, or suspension. That said, the lack of advisories or defects in any test implies that maintenance—where performed—has been sufficient to prevent major failures. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of suspension components , particularly the rear suspension bushes and coil springs , as these are common wear points on this model at this mileage. The front and rear brake systems —including calipers, discs, and hydraulic lines—should be checked for binding, excessive corrosion, or uneven wear, as even a minor fault could escalate without visible warning. Structural integrity, especially around the sills, wheel arches, and underbody , warrants scrutiny for corrosion, as this can compromise safety without affecting MOT compliance. Finally, the exhaust system should be examined for leaks or damage, as catalytic converter failures or rusted sections are not always detected during a standard MOT. While the record suggests no major neglect, these areas are critical for a vehicle approaching 11 years old and nearly 95,000 miles .
