2016 Citroen Berlingo 1.6L Diesel · AP12 PET

The roadworthiness status of this Citroen Berlingo is currently sound, supported by a clean pass on 31 October 2025 at 113,207 miles that indicates a stable maintenance trend. The vehicle cleared an initial failure three days prior on 28 October 2025 without any recorded defects, mirroring an identical administrative pattern from November 2024 where an initial test failure on the thirteenth was immediately rectified for a pass on the same day. These same-day or rapid clearances typically point to minor administrative snags, blown bulbs, or quick adjustments rather than deep-seated mechanical neglect. Accumulating 113,207 miles over its ten-year lifespan yields an average of roughly 11,300 miles annually, aligning closely with typical UK driving habits for a utility vehicle of this class. The mileage progression between the November 2023 test, the November 2024 tests, and the late October 2025 test demonstrates steady, consistent use without periods of prolonged storage or excessive fleet battering. This consistent utilization generally prevents the premature seizing of brakes and degradation of rubber components often seen in vehicles that sit idle for months. Prospective buyers should note the complete absence of tester advisories across the 2023, 2024, and 2025 test records, which suggests the previous owners addressed wear and tear promptly before presenting the vehicle for inspection. Physical inspection should still focus on the primary mechanical consumables typical of a high-mileage Berlingo, specifically checking the condition of the front suspension wishbone bushes, drop links, and brake disc thickness. Given the commercial heritage of the chassis architecture, a thorough check of the rear axle beam mounts and sills for structural corrosion remains prudent despite the unblemished MOT history.
