2019 Citroen Berlingo 1.6L Diesel · CF19 CYH

The Citroën Berlingo’s most recent MOT test on 2026-01-15 confirms it remains roadworthy, with no defects recorded at 77,625 miles. Over the past two years, the vehicle has maintained a stable pattern of passing tests without advisories or failures, suggesting consistent compliance with basic roadworthiness standards. The absence of recurring faults in the latest tests implies that major systems—brakes, suspension, exhaust emissions, and structural integrity—have not been compromised by neglect. However, the 2024-05-22 entry shows a duplicate record (one marked as passed, the other as failed) at the same mileage, which may indicate an administrative error rather than a mechanical issue, but this anomaly warrants verification of the test centre’s accuracy. The recorded mileage of 77,625 miles over seven years equates to approximately 11,089 miles annually, a rate typical for a vehicle of this age. There are no significant gaps in service intervals or abrupt spikes in mileage between tests, though the 2023 to 2024 period shows a 12,000-mile jump in just under a year, which could suggest either regular use or a period of higher mileage accumulation. The most notable observation is the lack of MOT advisories, which often highlight impending failures in areas like suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake caliper binding—components that would naturally degrade over this mileage. This absence does not guarantee their current condition but does suggest they have not yet reached critical wear thresholds. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of the suspension components, particularly the rear bushes and coil springs, as these are common failure points at this mileage. The brakes, though not flagged in tests, should be assessed for uneven wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has experienced heavy loads or frequent braking. Corrosion around wheel arches, sills, and the subframe is another critical area to examine, as rust can compromise structural integrity without always being visible in routine tests. The dual MOT entry from 2024 demands confirmation that no faults were overlooked, particularly if the vehicle was driven between tests without intermediate maintenance. Tyre tread depth and condition, while not MOT-failed, should be checked, as the lack of advisories could imply they have been overlooked.
