2015 Citroen Berlingo 1.6L Diesel · FV15 AEZ

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-10-01 at 221,899 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend over the past 12 months. Previous tests from 2024-09-24 (199,324 miles) and 2023-10-12 (182,099 miles) also passed without issues, though a failed test on 2023-10-10 (182,066 miles) occurred without recorded defects. This suggests no persistent mechanical failures, but the lack of detailed failure notes limits clarity. The absence of advisories or critical faults in recent tests implies the vehicle has been maintained to meet legal standards, though high mileage may mask underlying wear. The car’s mileage of 221,899 miles at 11 years old equates to an average of 20,173 miles annually, exceeding typical usage for its age. MOT records show consistent annual testing, with mileage increasing by approximately 17,000–19,000 miles per year. This rapid accumulation raises concerns about accelerated wear on consumables like tyres, brake pads, and suspension components. The 2023-10-10 failure, though unexplained, may reflect procedural issues or minor faults not classified as critical. The clean record since 2024 suggests recent attention to maintenance, but the high annual mileage could indicate frequent use or long-distance commuting. A buyer should inspect for signs of wear not captured in MOT data, such as corrosion in the chassis or exhaust system, which can degrade over time. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs may show fatigue given the high mileage, particularly if the vehicle has been driven on uneven roads. The absence of brake-related advisories is positive, but a physical inspection of calipers and discs for binding or uneven wear is recommended. Structural integrity should also be verified, as rust or panel damage could compromise safety. The vehicle’s history lacks red flags, but its usage pattern warrants thorough scrutiny of mechanical components prone to deterioration.
