2021 Citroen Berlingo 650 EN-Prise PRO Bhdi 1.5L Diesel · CA71 ABO

The most recent MOT test conducted on 07 May 2026 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. Reviewing the consecutive annual test history from 2024 through to 2026, the maintenance trend appears remarkably stable. The total absence of both failures and advisories across these three years suggests that the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard and has not exhibited the typical progressive wear in braking, lighting, or structural integrity that often triggers MOT advisories in commercial vehicles. The recorded mileage of 78,474 miles against a five-year age profile indicates an average annual usage of approximately 15,695 miles. This is significantly higher than the UK average for this vehicle class, suggesting a life of consistent, heavy-duty use rather than intermittent or light driving. While high mileage generally implies more significant wear on consumable mechanical components, the regularity of the usage is often a positive indicator, as it reduces the likelihood of issues caused by long periods of inactivity, such as seized brake calipers, fuel degradation, or battery discharge. Since the MOT record is clean, your physical inspection should focus on components that may be nearing the end of their service life due to high mileage. During the test drive, pay close attention to the suspension and steering; listen for any knocking or clunking sounds over bumps, which could signal worn shock absorbers, coil springs, or perished suspension bushes. You should also monitor the braking performance for any shuddering through the pedal or pulling to one side, which could indicate warped brake discs or unevenly wearing pads. Inspect the tyres for any irregular wear patterns that might suggest alignment issues or worn suspension geometry. Given the high annual mileage, it is critical to verify the service history to ensure that oil and filter changes have been performed at the correct intervals to protect the BlueHDi engine and its emissions systems. Check for any signs of fluid leaks around the engine bay and under the chassis, and inspect the drive belts for any fraying or cracking. Although the MOT history is clear, you should also check the condition of the 12V battery and ensure that all essential fluids, including coolant and brake fluid, are within their recommended service life to prevent time-based degradation. Confirm that the service book reflects a consistent maintenance regime that aligns with the high mileage recorded.
