2005 Citroen Berlingo 1.6L Diesel · FG55 ULP

The Citroen Berlingo shows a stable roadworthiness trend with a clean pass at the most recent test on 25 July 2024 at 113,724 miles. The DVSA record carries no advisories or defects across the last three annual cycles. Prior to that pass, the same day logged a fail at 113,723 miles with no defects recorded, a clerical or presentation anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. The vehicle presents as structurally and mechanically sound on paper. Annual mileage sits low for a 2005 van at roughly 5,415 miles per year, totalling 113,724 miles over its life. The record moves from 103,481 miles on 14 July 2022 to 109,365 miles on 9 August 2023, then 113,724 miles by 25 July 2024. That is around 4,000 to 5,400 miles added each year with no sudden accumulation. Two consecutive days in 2023 and 2024 each show a fail line directly before the pass at a one-mile lower reading, suggesting administrative re-entry rather than breakdown or neglect. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe corrosion given the vehicle's 21-year age. The MOT history flags none of these, but low-use vans often develop surface rust on sills and chassis legs while standing. Check brake discs and calipers for seizing after periods of inactivity. Verify the twin 2023 and 2024 fail entries with DVLA paperwork to confirm no suppressed defect. The clean advisory list implies previous owners addressed wear before testing, yet wiper blades, tyres, and exhaust emissions remain unrecorded risks worth a road test.
