2008 Citroen Berlingo 1.6L Diesel · AJ58 MXM

The 2008 Citroen Berlingo presents a stable and favourable roadworthiness trend. The most recent test on 7 November 2025 at 139,083 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded. Every annual examination from 2021 through 2025 achieved a clean pass, showing no advisories or mechanical faults flagged across the five-year span. Annual mileage sits close to the typical 7,727 per year for an 18-year-old vehicle. The record shows 134,361 miles in October 2021 rising to 139,083 by November 2025, a total gain of 4,722 miles over four years. That averages roughly 1,180 miles per annum, far below the norm and pointing to very light use or extended standing periods. No gaps exist between tests; the owner kept the MOT current each autumn. A clean MOT history with no corrosion, suspension, or brake advisories suggests the previous keeper maintained basic statutory checks but tells us little about component condition beneath the surface. Low annual use often hides perished rubber bushes, seized calipers, and structural rust where moisture settles. The Berlingo's age makes underbody corrosion and suspension arm wear the prime suspects. A buyer should physically inspect chassis rails, subframe mounts, and rear spring hangers for rust before purchase. Verify brake disc thickness and handbrake function given the long idle stretches. Confirm coolant hoses and timing belt history, as low mileage does not pause rubber degradation on a 2008 unit.
