2004 Citroen Berlingo 1.9L Diesel · D16 DAF

The most recent MOT test on 20 October 2025 resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded, and the prior two annual tests in October 2024 and October 2023 also passed cleanly. The record shows a single failure dated 17 October 2023, listed alongside a pass on the same day, which indicates a re-test was carried out immediately after a defect was rectified; crucially, the official entry for that failure records no defect details, meaning the precise reason for the initial refusal is not documented in this history. The overall pattern across the five recorded tests is therefore broadly stable, with no recurring advisories, monitoring items, or repeat failures visible in the data. Mileage progression is consistent and moderate for a 2004 vehicle now standing at 155,665 miles, equating to roughly 7,076 miles annually over its 22-year life. The record captures the vehicle across its later life, with tests clustered between 2022 and 2025 at near-annual intervals, and the mileage implied by the test spacing appears to have accumulated steadily rather than in sudden jumps. This relatively even pattern suggests the vehicle has remained in regular use throughout the period covered by these records, rather than being laid up for extended periods or subjected to extreme high-mileage accumulation. Because the MOT history contains no recorded advisories, there is no documented pattern of component wear to target specifically, but a prospective buyer should not infer that the vehicle is free of mechanical concerns. Items not assessed during the MOT, such as engine condition, clutch operation, gearbox behaviour, coolant and oil leaks, timing belt service status, and the state of the cambelt on a 22-year-old vehicle, warrant direct physical inspection. The rear suspension, including beam axle bushes and coil springs commonly worn on high-mileage Berlingos, should be checked for play and corrosion, while the underbody, inner sills, and rear load floor should be examined for the structural rust that frequently affects these vehicles. Brake discs, caliper slide pins, and flexible hoses merit a close visual check, and given the accumulated mileage, the clutch, dual-mass flywheel, and turbocharger (if diesel) should be evaluated for wear consistent with the odometer reading.
