2016 Citroen Berlingo 1.6L Diesel · CK16 GDO

The vehicle shows a fluctuating maintenance pattern but remains roadworthy following its most recent test on 24 October 2025 at 75,429 miles. While the latest result was a pass, the record shows a tendency for minor electrical and consumable failures to trigger MOT retests. The maintenance trend appears to be stabilizing, as the 2024 test recorded no defects after a significant failure, though the appearance of a registration plate lamp advisory in the 2025 test suggests a lack of proactive bulb inspections. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 7,500 miles per year. The data shows steady usage, with the odometer increasing from 36,800 miles in April 2019 to 75,429 miles in October 2025. There are no significant gaps in the testing history, which indicates the vehicle has been in regular use rather than sitting idle for extended periods. A prospective buyer should pay close attention to the braking system and electrical components. The October 2024 failure highlighted rear brake pads below the 1.5mm legal limit, and the 2022 test flagged pitted or scored front brake discs. These recurring issues with consumables suggest that maintenance often follows a reactive rather than preventative approach. The tester also flagged an inoperative engine MIL in 2024, so verifying the dashboard warning light functionality is essential. The history also reveals frequent issues with tyre tread depth and lighting, with multiple failures for worn tyres in 2020, 2022, and 2023. The 2024 failure regarding a likely detached rear bumper also warrants a physical inspection of the rear bodywork and mounting points to ensure structural integrity. Checking the condition of the windscreen wipers and all external light clusters will help confirm that the minor electrical faults noted in previous years have been fully addressed.
