2014 Citroen Berlingo 1.6L Diesel · BJ64 ADU

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-05-28 at 175,387 miles showed a pass with no defects recorded, but the prior test on 2025-05-27 at the same mileage failed without defects. This inconsistency suggests potential administrative error or testing variability. Previous tests from 2024 and 2023 also passed with no defects, indicating a generally stable maintenance record despite the recent fluctuation. No structural, braking, or emission issues were flagged in the last four years, though the high mileage of 175,387 miles (14,616 annually) raises concerns about accelerated wear on components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs. The vehicle’s mileage has risen steadily, with 130,165 miles recorded in 2023, reaching 149,313 by 2024-04-13, and 175,387 by 2025. This equates to an average of 14,616 miles per year, exceeding typical usage for its age. The lack of significant gaps between MOT tests suggests consistent operation, but the rapid accumulation of miles increases the likelihood of hidden wear. No advisories or critical failures were noted in the history, though the absence of defects in high-mileage tests may not fully reflect underlying issues such as binding calipers, corrosion, or exhaust emissions degradation. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, given the high mileage, and check brake discs for uneven wear or warping. The exhaust system and emission controls should also be scrutinised, as these components often degrade with prolonged use. While the MOT records show no immediate risks, the vehicle’s age and mileage warrant a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the integrity of critical systems and identify any latent faults not captured in the testing history.
