2019 Citroen Berlingo 1000 Driver Bhdi SS A Diesel · FJZ 990

The Citroen Berlingo presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 26 February 2026 at 135,135 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the four preceding annual tests also passed cleanly. The only blemish is a fail on 9 October 2022 at 70,660 miles, which the DVSA log shows with no defects listed; the vehicle passed nine days later on 18 October 2022 at 71,134 miles, indicating the initial failure was likely administrative or a tester discrepancy rather than a mechanical fault. Mileage stands at 135,135 over roughly seven years, an average of 19,305 per year and high for a 2019 light van. The records show steady accumulation: 71,134 miles in October 2022, 89,314 by October 2023, 112,487 in January 2025, and 135,135 by February 2026. A gap of about fourteen months sits between the October 2023 and January 2025 tests, but the 23,000-mile increase across that span matches the long-run average. The clean pass sheet at every stage suggests the previous keeper kept on top of consumables and avoided letting wear items reach advisory status. Given the absence of any recorded advisories across the history, a buyer should still verify in person the components a high-mileage diesel van typically degrades. Inspect front suspension bushes, track-rod ends, and coil springs for play or fracture. Check brake disc thickness and caliper operation front and rear, as binding calipers will not show on a clean MOT if within limits on the day. Examine the subframe and sills for corrosion, and confirm the exhaust emissions remain within DPF health under load. The sparse, defect-free record points to consistent basic upkeep rather than deferred maintenance. The 2022 fail with no defects logged remains anomalous but resolved within days. On the evidence of the MOT data alone, the Berlingo carries no red flags, though the 135k mileage warrants a hands-on check of drivetrain and suspension wear before purchase.
