2016 Citroen Berlingo 1.6L Diesel · DA16 OWH

The Citroen Berlingo passed its most recent MOT on 16 March 2026 at 242,447 miles with no defects recorded, confirming it currently holds a roadworthy status. The maintenance trend reads as stable across the last three annual cycles, with every pass showing a clean sheet and no advisories logged. The March 2026 pass followed a same-day failure that recorded no defects, a clerical or administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault. The van has covered 242,447 miles in roughly ten years, an average of 24,245 miles per year and well above typical light-commercial use. Records show 230,960 miles on 8 April 2024, 236,125 miles on 13 March 2025, and 242,447 miles on 16 March 2026. Annual accumulation sits near 6,000 miles, modest for a high-mileage vehicle and suggesting steady, consistent running rather than harsh short-haul abuse. A same-day fail and pass in both 2024 and 2026, each with zero defects noted, points to paperwork or test-entry errors rather than owner neglect. Given the clean MOT history, no recurring suspension, brake, or corrosion issues appear in the official data. The absence of advisories across four passed tests implies previous keepers addressed wear before each examination or the tester found nothing reportable. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity, suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc condition, as a 242,447-mile Berlingo will carry consumable fatigue invisible to a no-defect MOT. High mileage alone warrants scrutiny of the clutch, drivetrain mounts, and exhaust emissions under load. The record shows no warning signs, but the DVSA test captures only road-legal minimums on the day. Verify service history and check for underlying rust on sills and subframes before purchase.
