2015 Citroen Berlingo 1.6L Diesel · CE65 OGJ

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-10-17 recorded a pass at 182,382 miles, but the preceding test on 2025-10-16 showed a failure at the same mileage with no defects listed. This inconsistency suggests a potential administrative error or technical anomaly, as no faults were recorded in either case. The prior tests from 2024-10-01, 2023-09-20, and 2022-09-10 all passed without defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend over the last four years. However, the lack of recent data beyond October 2025 raises concerns about the vehicle’s current condition, as it has not been retested despite exceeding 182,000 miles. The mileage of 182,382 miles at 11 years old equates to an average of 16,580 miles annually, which is significantly higher than typical usage. Notable gaps exist between tests, with the 2022-09-10 pass at 148,192 miles followed by a 22,889-mile jump to 171,081 miles by 2024-10-01. This rapid accumulation suggests heavy usage, increasing the likelihood of wear on consumables and critical components. The absence of defects in all recorded tests is unusual for such high mileage, but it does not confirm mechanical integrity, as MOTs primarily assess safety and emissions rather than long-term wear. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the suspension system, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, which are prone to failure under high-mileage conditions. The brake system, including calipers and discs, warrants close examination for signs of uneven wear or corrosion. Given the lack of structural or emission-related defects in the record, focus should remain on mechanical components and fluid leaks. The failed 2025 test, though unexplained, underscores the need for a thorough pre-purchase inspection to verify the vehicle’s ongoing roadworthiness.
