2004 Citroen Berlingo 1.9L Diesel · GF54 AFU

The Citroen Berlingo shows a stable roadworthiness trend with its most recent test on 21 October 2021 returning a pass at 98,384 miles after an initial failure the same day at 98,380 miles with no defects logged. The vehicle carries a clean advisory sheet across all five recorded tests between 2019 and 2021, indicating no escalating mechanical faults and no worsening condition over that window. Recorded mileage sits at 98,384 against a 22-year lifespan, equating to roughly 4,472 miles per year and confirming light use for the age. The odometer moved only 3,207 miles from the 22 October 2019 pass at 92,177 miles to the 16 October 2020 test at 94,943 miles, then a further 3,441 miles to the 2021 pass. The twin failure-pass pairs on 16 October 2020 and 21 October 2021 at near-identical mileages with no defects cited suggest administrative re-tests rather than rectified faults, though the absence of logged reasons leaves the root cause unverified. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and corrosion given the vehicle's 2004 build date and the DVSA record's silence on underbody condition. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs warrant hands-on checks despite no advisories, as low annual mileage often masks perished rubber and surface rust from prolonged standing. The clean MOT history implies prior owners kept basic statutory testing current, but the sparse entries offer no evidence of proactive mechanical care beyond minimum compliance.
