2010 Citroen Berlingo 1.6L Diesel · DA59 TZD

The Citroen Berlingo shows a stable roadworthiness trend with no active defects, though its MOT record exposes a recurring administrative failure pattern rather than mechanical fault. The most recent test passed on 21 June 2022 at 78,837 miles with no defects recorded, leaving the vehicle four years untested relative to today's date of 8 July 2026. The prior pass on 8 June 2021 at 75,662 miles likewise followed a same-day failure with no defects logged. This twin-failure behaviour across both 2021 and 2022 suggests the previous owner presented the van for test before resolving a paperwork or identification mismatch, not a worn component. Recorded mileage sits low for a 2010 vehicle. The test at 75,661 miles on 7 June 2021 rose to 78,836 miles by 21 June 2022, a gain of roughly 3,175 miles in twelve months. Annual use averages 4,927 miles against the model's age of sixteen years. Such low accumulation implies light duty or extended standing periods, which can allow corrosion and perished rubber to develop unseen despite minimal drivetrain wear. The DVSA entries flag no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity across either pass. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the sills and subframe given the four-year test gap and low-mileage dormancy, as moisture trapped during storage accelerates chassis rust absent from the record. Verify the V5C and tester rejection reasons behind the 2021 and 2022 failures before purchase, since the record itself carries no defect data to explain them. Confirm current tyre tread, wiper condition, and brake binding during a road trial, as these consumables fall outside a stale MOT's coverage.
