2013 Citroen Berlingo 1.6L Diesel · FH13 MMX

The 2013 Citroen Berlingo demonstrates an exceptionally stable maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 17 November 2025 at 77,377 miles. The tester recorded no defects or advisories, indicating the vehicle met all structural and mechanical standards at that time. A preceding test on 19 July 2022 shows a failure at 73,850 miles, though the record lists no specific defects for that failure, suggesting a retest occurred on the same day which it passed cleanly. This pattern of consecutive clean passes since mid-2022 points to a resolving trend, with the vehicle currently sitting in optimal roadworthiness condition. The mileage accumulation is remarkably low for a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,952 miles annually. Analysing the intervals reveals a declining usage pattern. Between the July 2022 test at 73,850 miles and the August 2023 test at 75,882 miles, the van covered just 1,032 miles. This dropped further to 458 miles between the August 2024 test at 76,919 miles and the November 2025 test at 77,377 miles. Such minimal recent use suggests the vehicle has spent significant periods stationary, which carries its own mechanical implications despite the low wear on consumables. Despite the absence of recurring mechanical faults in the MOT record, a buyer must inspect components susceptible to deterioration from prolonged inactivity. Low-mileage vehicles that stand for extended periods often suffer from perished suspension bushes and deteriorated tyre sidewalls, even if the tread depth remains legal. The braking system requires close scrutiny; discs can surface corrode and calipers can seize without regular use. Structurally, inspect the underside and sills for corrosion, as a van of this age may have been used commercially prior to its current light-duty life, potentially exposing it to moisture and road salt damage that a brief MOT inspection might not fully capture.
