Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent inspection on 18 March 2026 at 61,122 miles. The overall maintenance trend appears stable, as the vehicle consistently achieves clean passes after addressing initial failures. The failure recorded on 10 March 2026, just two miles prior to the pass, suggests a minor adjustment or consumable replacement that was rectified immediately, indicating a proactive approach to maintaining compliance rather than a systemic mechanical decline. At 61,122 miles over nine years, the Berlingo averages approximately 6,800 miles per annum. This low mileage is consistent with typical use for a vehicle of this age and generally results in less wear on the drivetrain components and suspension assembly. The record shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 5,400 miles covered between May 2024 and March 2025, and another 1,500 miles between March 2025 and March 2026. This interval suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to high-intensity commercial cycles. A buyer should investigate the specific components that caused the failures in 2024 and 2026, although the provided data does not specify the defect codes. Given the low mileage, the physical inspection should focus on signs of rubber component degradation such as perished bushes or cracked tyres, which can occur due to age regardless of distance driven. Check the brake discs for corrosion and the structural sills and wheel arches for rust, as these are common weak points on Citroen vans of this era that are not driven frequently.
