2010 Citroen Berlingo 1.6L Diesel · BV10 VLF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a pattern of neglecting minor electrical and lighting components. The most recent test in April 2026 at 121,462 miles passed with two minor defects involving an offside registration plate lamp and a discoloured nearside rear indicator. This follows a pass in 2025 where a similar plate lamp failure was noted, suggesting that the previous owner only addresses lighting issues when they are flagged during annual inspections. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 7,600 miles per year. Between March 2023 and March 2024, the vehicle covered 8,776 miles, while it clocked 14,599 miles between the March 2024 test and April 2026 tests. This steady accumulation indicates the van is used regularly rather than being left to sit for long periods, which is generally beneficial for engine seals and braking components on a 16-year-old Citroen Berlingo. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension assembly, as the vehicle failed in March 2024 due to a fractured offside front coil spring. While this was repaired to achieve the subsequent pass, spring fatigue often affects the opposite side on high mileage vehicles. Given the age and mileage, a physical check for corrosion on the spring mounting points and the control arm bushes is essential. The recurring lighting failures also warrant a check of the wiring loom and bulb sockets for corrosion or poor connections to prevent future failures.
