2010 Citroen Berlingo 1.6L Diesel · BJ10 ABX

The vehicle's recent MOT history shows a stable maintenance trend, with the most recent test on 22 November 2024 at 182,418 miles resulting in a clean pass with no defects. While the record shows two instances of failure immediately preceding successful tests in both 2023 and 2024, these appear to be administrative or minor rectification issues rather than a decline in mechanical integrity. The lack of recorded advisories in the most recent two years suggests that the vehicle has been kept in a roadworthy condition regarding its primary safety components. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 11,400 miles per year. The data shows a steady progression from 162,868 miles in November 2022 to 182,418 miles in November 2024. This consistent usage pattern indicates the vehicle has seen regular road use rather than long periods of standing, which is generally positive for preventing seal degradation and fuel system issues. The mileage has increased by roughly 10,000 miles per year, which is typical for a commercial-style vehicle like this Citroen Berlingo. A physical inspection should focus on the suspension and underbody, as the MOT record is silent on the condition of bushes, coil springs, or structural corrosion. Given the mileage has surpassed 180,000, the buyer should check for signs of wear in the drivetrain and steering components. While the recent passes show no immediate failures, the high mileage necessitates a thorough check of the brake discs and pads for uneven wear or binding, as well as an inspection of the exhaust system for excessive corrosion. The recurring pattern of failing and then passing within the same week suggests the owner likely addressed minor issues immediately to secure a certificate. This proactive approach to MOT compliance is a positive indicator of ownership care. However, because the MOT record does not detail the specific reasons for the failures in 2023 and 2024, a buyer should verify that any previous mechanical repairs were carried out to a professional standard.
