2008 Citroen Berlingo 1.6L Petrol · FL08 VLD

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean MOT result in its most recent test on 12 January 2026 at 76,338 miles. This follows a period of consistent passing, although the 13 January 2025 test at 62,625 miles noted a front inner brake disc worn but not excessively. While this indicates standard wear for a vehicle of this age, the lack of defects in the latest record suggests that the braking system and other primary components are currently within acceptable parameters. The mileage accumulation is notably low for an 18-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,241 miles per year. The records show a steady, gradual increase in mileage from 29,629 miles in 2012 to the current 76,338 miles. There is a significant period of low usage between 2021 and 2025, where the vehicle covered only about 13,000 miles over four years. This low annual mileage can be beneficial for mechanical longevity, but it also increases the risk of age-related degradation in rubber components and seals due to extended periods of inactivity. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and chassis for signs of corrosion, as the MOT history does not provide specific data on structural integrity. The 2014 advisory regarding a perishing offside rear tyre suggests that rubber components may be prone to age-related cracking. You should specifically examine the condition of all suspension bushes, shock absorbers, and drive belts, as these often suffer when vehicles are driven infrequently. Finally, pay close attention to the braking system. Although the most recent test was clear, the 2025 advisory regarding the front inner brake disc suggests that wear patterns may be uneven. Inspect the brake discs and pads for consistent thickness and check for any signs of binding or uneven wear across the calipers. Given the history of a stop lamp failure in 2016 and tyre wear issues in 2020, a general check of all electrical switchgear and tyre sidewall integrity is also advised.
