2013 Citroen Berlingo 1.6L Diesel · BK13 PPF

The vehicle presents a concerning roadworthiness status, as the record indicates a reactive maintenance approach rather than proactive care. The most recent test in September 2022 at 158,323 miles resulted in a pass following an initial failure for lighting issues and a worn offside front track rod end. While the mechanical failure was addressed immediately, the lack of any MOT records for the subsequent three years up to June 2026 suggests the vehicle has either been off the road or not legally tested, which raises significant concerns regarding its current safety and legal compliance. At 158,323 miles, the Berlingo has covered an average of approximately 12,000 miles per year, which is consistent with heavy commercial or utility use. The data shows a period of high activity between October 2019 and September 2022, where the vehicle covered 28,058 miles in under three years. However, the four-year gap between the 2022 MOT and the current date is a major red flag for a high-mileage vehicle, as components like rubber bushings, hoses, and brake fluid degrade regardless of the distance driven. A physical inspection must focus on the suspension geometry and lighting systems. The 2019 record highlighted uneven tyre wear on the inner edges of multiple tyres, which typically indicates poor alignment or worn shock absorbers. The 2022 failure of the track rod end suggests the steering linkage is reaching its service life; a buyer should check all remaining control arms and ball joints for excessive play. Given the age and mileage, the underbody must be scrutinized for structural corrosion on the sills and exhaust mounting, as these are common failure points on this model after thirteen years of use.
