2014 Citroen Berlingo 1.6L Diesel · GL63 AAJ

The 2014 Citroën Berlingo has demonstrated a stable roadworthiness trend over the past two years, with the most recent MOT test on 29 January 2026 confirming no defects at 140,077 miles. The record shows a pattern of repeated testing at the same mileage intervals—both 127,851 and 134,038 miles—where the vehicle failed once before passing on retest, suggesting either a brief oversight in pre-test preparation or a minor, easily rectified issue. The absence of recurring advisories or defects in the latest pass indicates the vehicle has not experienced persistent mechanical failures, though the repeated retesting at identical mileages warrants scrutiny of components prone to gradual wear. The mileage progression of 140,077 miles today reflects a consistent annual average of approximately 11,673 miles, which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. There are no significant gaps or abrupt jumps in mileage between tests, though the repeated retesting at 127,851 and 134,038 miles—spanning just over a year—implies either a deliberate strategy to address minor issues before they escalated or a lack of pre-test maintenance. The most recent test, just six months ago, ensures the vehicle remains within the current MOT validity period, though buyers should verify if any unrecorded repairs or servicing have occurred since. Given the lack of recorded defects, the primary focus for an in-person inspection should centre on components commonly overlooked in basic maintenance. The repeated retesting at identical mileages hints at potential issues with brake wear, suspension alignment, or minor electrical faults that may not have been fully addressed. Inspect the brake discs and pads for uneven wear, particularly the rear brakes, as binding was not explicitly ruled out in the passes. Check for worn suspension bushes or coil springs, as these often manifest as minor handling issues that could have been flagged as advisories. Additionally, examine the underbody for corrosion, especially around the wheel arches and sills, where rust can compromise structural integrity over time. Tyre condition should also be verified, as the absence of tread-related failures does not guarantee they have been consistently maintained.
