2014 Citroen Berlingo 1.6L Diesel · FX14 KHA

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 14 March 2025 at 116,196 miles, indicating a stable roadworthiness status. While the vehicle passed its most recent inspection without defects, the failure recorded one day prior highlights a significant concern regarding exhaust emissions. Exceeding the default limit of 1.5m-1 suggests potential issues with the diesel particulate filter, fuel injection system, or combustion efficiency that were rectified just enough to secure a pass. The concurrent failure of multiple lighting circuits indicates a period of neglected basic maintenance, though the subsequent pass suggests these minor electrical faults were addressed. The recorded mileage of 116,196 over twelve years averages approximately 9,683 miles per annum, which aligns with standard usage patterns for a vehicle of this type. The annual testing cycle remains consistent, with no significant gaps in the MOT history. The accumulation of roughly 12,000 miles between the March 2024 and March 2025 tests is typical for this age and suggests the vehicle has been in regular operation rather than sitting idle for extended periods. Prospective buyers should prioritise a thorough inspection of the exhaust system and engine management components given the emission failure flagged in March 2025. Verify that the vehicle does not exhibit excessive smoke under load or irregular idle, as the previous emission limit breach may point to underlying mechanical wear rather than a simple sensor fault. While the suspension and braking systems have not generated formal advisories in recent years, confirm the condition of the coil springs and brake discs during a physical inspection, as these components frequently suffer from corrosion on high-mileage Berlingo models. Check all exterior lighting units for signs of water ingress or poor electrical connections, as the history shows a recurring vulnerability in the vehicle's lighting circuitry.
