2015 Citroen Berlingo 1.6L Diesel · FL15 KLX

The Citroen Berlingo presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 23 May 2025 at 60,376 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three preceding annual or near-annual tests also passed clean. No advisories or mechanical faults appear anywhere in the five-year DVSA record, so the vehicle shows no worsening or recurring defect pattern. The mileage confirms light use for an 11-year-old van. It covered just 6,741 miles between the 21 October 2022 test at 45,804 miles and the 29 May 2024 test at 53,635 miles, then only 5,741 miles to the May 2025 test. A notable gap sits between October 2023 and May 2024 where the tester logged a fail and pass on the same day at 50,182 miles with no defects cited, likely an administrative reversal rather than a genuine fault. Annual averages sit near 5,500 miles, well below typical light-commercial duty. Low standing mileage can mask perished rubber components and corrosion that a short test drive will not reveal. The clean record gives no cause to suspect suspension bushes, brake calipers, or structural rot, but a buyer should still confirm underneath condition given the vehicle's age and the risk of moisture ingress during long idle periods. Inspect the exhaust, subframe, and sills for rust, and check tyre sidewalls for cracking from age rather than wear. Verify the brake discs and pads are not corroded from disuse. The history implies a careful keeper who kept the van lightly used and tested on time, yet physical inspection remains essential where the paper record is silent.
