2011 Citroen Berlingo 1.6L Diesel · DA11 KVO

The Citroen Berlingo passed its most recent MOT on 11 February 2026 at 101,929 miles with no defects recorded, leaving it roadworthy as of that date. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record reveals a recurring pattern of initial failures followed by quick passes. On 29 January 2026 the tester failed the van at 101,921 miles, then the owner returned it twelve days later to pass with no listed defects. The same sequence occurred in early 2025: a failure on 14 January at 96,195 miles, followed by a pass on 16 January at 96,233 miles. This suggests administrative or minor pre-test faults rather than progressive mechanical decay. The mileage sits at a typical level for a 15-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 6,795 miles per year across its life. Between the January 2024 pass at 90,384 miles and the January 2025 pass at 96,233 miles the van covered about 5,849 miles. From January 2025 to February 2026 it added only 5,696 miles, showing consistent light-to-moderate use with no sudden accumulation spikes. The clean advisory columns across all five entries indicate no flagged corrosion, worn suspension bushes, or brake disc concerns were noted by testers. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the absent advisories. The twin failure-pass cycles in 2025 and 2026 with no recorded defects imply the previous owners may have addressed trivial items like number plates or fluid levels between visits rather than neglecting core systems. Given the Berlingo's age, examine rear suspension torsion bar condition, subframe mounting points for structural rust, and front coil springs for fracture. Check the brake calipers for binding after standing and verify tyre sidewall age even though tread passed. The low annual mileage means prolonged static periods, which can degrade rubber components and encourage underbody corrosion not visible during a brief test.
