2006 Citroen Berlingo 1.4L Petrol · DA55 LUJ

The Citroen Berlingo shows a stable roadworthiness trend with a clean pass at the most recent test on 10 December 2025 at 34,434 miles, where the tester recorded no defects. Prior to that, the vehicle passed without fault on 11 December 2024 at 32,647 miles and again on 7 December 2023 at 32,442 miles. The only anomaly in the record is a failed test logged on 11 December 2024 at 32,647 miles with no defects recorded, which points to an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. The mileage pattern reflects very light use for a 2006 vehicle. From the 19 December 2022 test at 32,085 miles to the 7 December 2023 test at 32,442 miles the car covered just 357 miles. It then added only 205 miles by December 2024 and 1,787 miles by December 2025, giving an average of roughly 1,722 miles per year across its life. Such low annual accumulation suggests long periods of standing, though the MOT history contains no gaps longer than twelve months and no rapid mileage spikes. Because the DVSA record flags no advisories or defects across the last five tests, there is no recurring mechanical trend to report. The absence of noted corrosion, worn suspension bushes, or brake disc issues indicates the previous keeper maintained basic test compliance. A buyer should still arrange a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody condition, as a 20-year-old Citroen can develop hidden rust in sills and subframes that an MOT pass at low mileage may not expose. Given the clean history and minimal use, the main risk is deterioration from inactivity rather than wear. Check for perished rubber components, seized calipers, and flat-spotted tyres caused by standing. Confirm the 2024 failure with no defects was a clerical matter and not a withheld certificate.
