2018 Citroen Berlingo 1.6L Diesel · CE68 AAV

The Citroën Berlingo’s most recent MOT, conducted on 24 September 2025 at 86,806 miles , confirms it remains roadworthy without any defects or advisories. This consistency across five consecutive tests—all passing without fail—suggests the vehicle has been maintained at a basic level, though no evidence of proactive servicing beyond statutory checks is visible. The absence of recurring faults or advisory notes implies the core mechanical systems (brakes, suspension, steering, exhaust emissions) have not deteriorated significantly over time. However, the duplicate entry for October 2022 (one pass, one fail at identical mileage) is anomalous and may indicate an administrative error rather than a mechanical issue. Buyers should verify whether this was a genuine retest or a data duplication glitch. The recorded mileage of 86,806 miles over eight years equates to an average of 10,851 miles per annum , which aligns with typical usage patterns for this age of vehicle. There are no prolonged gaps in mileage accumulation—each test interval spans roughly 12–14 months , suggesting the vehicle has been driven regularly without extended periods of inactivity. The 2022–2023 gap (from 33,431 to 44,714 miles) spans 18 months , which is slightly longer than the usual 12-month MOT cycle but not unusual for a vehicle with no reported issues. No excessive wear patterns are immediately suggested by the mileage alone, though the lack of pre-MOT servicing records means hidden wear—such as worn suspension bushes or degraded brake pads—cannot be ruled out without further inspection. Given the clean MOT history, the primary focus for an in-person inspection should centre on suspension integrity and brake condition , as these are the most common areas where wear manifests beyond what an MOT detects. Check for uneven tyre wear —which could indicate misaligned wheels or worn suspension bushes—and listen for clunks or rattles over bumps, as these may signal degraded coil springs or worn mountings. The brakes should be assessed for binding calipers or excessive lateral run-out on discs, as the MOT does not test for subtle performance issues. Additionally, inspect the underbody for corrosion , particularly around the sills, wheel arches, and exhaust system, as rust can compromise structural integrity without immediately failing an MOT. The exhaust emissions system should also be visually checked for leaks or damaged components, though the lack of advisories suggests it has not been a persistent issue. Finally, verify the tyre tread depth —while the MOT passed, failing twice on tread suggests basic upkeep may have been overlooked.
