2004 Citroen Berlingo 1.9L Diesel · DX04 APZ

The vehicle is presently road‑worthy, having passed the 30 July 2026 MOT at 72,860 miles with no defects recorded. The absence of advisory items in the latest test, following a series of brake‑disc and suspension‑arm advisories in 2022 and 2023, indicates that the previously noted wear has been remedied and the maintenance trend is now stable. Mileage has risen from 57,304 miles in July 2022 to 72,860 miles in July 2026, an increase of 15,556 miles over four years. Early‑year growth was modest – 2,208 miles between July 2022 and July 2023 and 1,136 miles to July 2024 – but the last two intervals show roughly 6,000 miles per year, suggesting a recent uptick in utilisation. Overall mileage remains low for a 22‑year‑old van, averaging about 3,300 miles per annum, which points to limited long‑term wear but also to periods of relatively higher use in the past two years. A prospective buyer should verify that the front brake discs have been resurfaced or replaced, confirming sufficient thickness and the absence of scoring. Inspection of the front suspension arms, ball joints, and bushings for any residual play or wear is advisable, as these components were flagged in 2022 and 2023. Tyre condition warrants close attention; the rear tyre approached the legal tread limit in 2023, and earlier tests noted cracking on all four tyres, so current tread depth and sidewall integrity should be checked. Finally, a visual survey for corrosion on structural panels and under‑body areas will ensure that no hidden rust compromises the vehicle’s integrity.
