2013 Citroen Berlingo 1.6L Diesel · AF13 JFY

The Citroen Berlingo presents a currently roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 9 March 2026 at 164,210 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing a clean run of annual examinations. Prior passes on 18 March 2025 at 155,388 miles and 18 March 2024 at 144,743 miles also logged no advisories, indicating the vehicle has held its mechanical condition without escalation of faults across the observed period. The mileage pattern reflects high use for a 2013 vehicle, averaging roughly 12,632 miles per year against the recorded 164,210 miles. Annual increments stay consistent: 11,255 miles between the February 2023 test at 133,488 miles and March 2024 at 144,743 miles, then 10,645 miles to March 2025 and 8,822 miles to March 2026. The only anomaly is the failed test on 16 March 2024 at 144,742 miles, logged with no defects recorded two days before a clean pass, suggesting an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. The sparse record shows no recurring wear items or structural issues flagged across five years. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers given the mileage, as high annual use accelerates consumable and chassis fatigue even when MOTs show clear. The absence of corrosion or exhaust emissions advisories in the history is favourable, but the 2024 failure with no defects noted warrants confirmation the V5C and DVSA entry carry no suppressed rationale. Pre-purchase checks on structural integrity underneath the load floor remain sensible for a 13-year-old high-mileage van.
