2018 Citroen Berlingo 1.6L Diesel · AF18 KUX

The Citroen Berlingo presents a currently roadworthy status following a passed MOT on 11 April 2025 at 126,778 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable as no defects were recorded across the three most recent annual tests. The vehicle cleared its 24 April 2023 examination at 103,327 miles, the 18 April 2024 test at 119,301 miles, and the latest 2025 assessment without any advisories or failures on mechanical or structural grounds. Mileage stands at 126,778 against an eight-year lifespan, equating to roughly 15,847 miles per year and placing this van firmly in high-use territory for its class. Accumulation moved from 103,327 miles in April 2023 to 119,299 by April 2024, then to 126,773 by April 2025, showing a slight annual deceleration yet consistent heavy commercial-style operation. The DVSA log shows clean passes with no flagged wear on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, or corrosion, though the two same-day fail-then-pass pairs on 18 April 2024 and 11 April 2025 at near-identical mileages suggest administrative or documentation issues rather than mechanical defects. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of load-bearing suspension components, brake disc thickness, and underbody structural integrity given the elevated mileage and light MOT scrutiny. The absence of recorded advisories does not confirm absence of wear; high annual distances accelerate coil spring fatigue and caliper binding unseen in a no-defect test. Previous keepers maintained basic test compliance, but the sparse history offers limited insight into consumable replacement intervals.
