2018 Citroen Berlingo 1.6L Diesel · CA67 ABF

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-02-16 at 111,287 miles recorded a pass with no defects, but a prior test on 2026-02-13 at the same mileage failed without recorded issues. This inconsistency suggests potential administrative error or a minor non-compliance resolved between tests. No defects were noted in earlier MOTs from 2023 to 2025, indicating a stable maintenance trend over the past three years. However, the proximity of the failed and passed tests raises questions about the vehicle’s compliance status, warranting closer scrutiny of its mechanical condition. The car’s mileage of 111,287 miles at 8 years old equates to approximately 13,911 miles annually, significantly above the average for its age. This rapid accumulation suggests frequent use, which may accelerate wear on components such as suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs. The MOT history shows consistent testing intervals, with no gaps exceeding 14 months, but the lack of defects in all recorded tests implies the previous owner prioritized basic upkeep. Nonetheless, high mileage increases the likelihood of hidden issues requiring inspection. A buyer should prioritise checking for signs of suspension wear, particularly if the vehicle exhibits uneven tyre wear or abnormal handling. The absence of corrosion reports is positive, but structural integrity should be verified, especially under the chassis. Brake systems, including calipers and discs, should be examined for binding or uneven wear, as high mileage can exacerbate these issues. While the MOT records show no critical failures, the vehicle’s usage pattern and recent test anomalies justify a detailed pre-purchase inspection by a qualified mechanic.
