2016 Citroen Berlingo 1.6L Diesel · BA16 BMY

A consistent record of roadworthiness defines this vehicle, which has seen very few defects over its testing history. The most recent pass on 1 October 2025 noted only a minor defect regarding an inoperative offside registration plate lamp. Aside from a single dangerous failure in 2020 involving an insecure passenger seat, the vehicle has maintained a stable trend of clean certificates from 2021 through to 2024. With 48,472 miles recorded over approximately ten years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 4,847 miles per year. This is low for a vehicle of this age and type, suggesting it has avoided the heavy wear typically associated with high-mileage utility use. Such a low rate of accumulation means that mechanical wear on the drivetrain and suspension may be minimal, although it increases the likelihood that rubber components may degrade due to age rather than use. Inspection should focus on the rubber components, as the 2019 record highlighted perishing and cracking on the nearside front and rear tyres. While these were recorded several years ago, the buyer should examine the current tyres for similar sidewall degradation or hairline cracks. Additionally, the 2020 dangerous failure regarding the offside rear passenger seat fixing requires verification; the buyer should physically check that all seat locking mechanisms are secure and that there is no movement or rattling in the floor fixing points during a test drive. Given the absence of recurring advisories for suspension bushes, brake discs, or structural corrosion, the mechanical focus should remain on the functional aspects of the interior and lighting. Ensure the registration plate lamps are fully operational and check for any unusual knocks or vibrations from the rear seating area to confirm the previous seat security issue has been permanently resolved.
