2013 Citroen Berlingo 1.6L Diesel · GU63 ABV

This Citroën Berlingo has demonstrated a stable roadworthiness trend over the past three years, with the most recent MOT test on 1 December 2025 confirming no defects at 103,507 miles . The vehicle has passed every test since then without fail, including a minor retest in December 2024 at 96,296 miles —a quick resolution suggesting prompt attention to any minor issues. The absence of advisories or recurring faults implies the vehicle has been maintained at a basic level, though the lack of defects does not preclude hidden wear in high-stress components. The recorded mileage of 103,507 miles over 13 years equates to an average of 7,962 miles annually , a rate consistent with typical usage for this age. There is a notable gap between September 2023 (86,894 miles) and September 2022 (76,969 miles) , indicating 9,925 miles accumulated in just over a year , which could suggest either intensive use or a period of neglect before consistent maintenance resumed. The retest in December 2024 at 96,296 miles —just 110 miles before the original test date—confirms the vehicle was driven shortly before inspection, ruling out prolonged inactivity as a factor. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of suspension bushes and coil springs , particularly at the rear where binding brakes were not recorded but could develop over time. The front and rear brake discs and calipers warrant close examination for uneven wear or corrosion, especially if the vehicle has been exposed to moisture or salted roads. Exhaust emissions should be checked for leaks or catalytic converter efficiency, as no advisories were noted but this remains a common failure point in this model. Finally, structural corrosion at wheel arches, sills, and the subframe should be inspected, as rust progression is difficult to detect without physical inspection, despite the vehicle’s age. The lack of advisories in recent tests is reassuring, but tyre condition and tread depth —critical for safety—should be verified, as failing twice on tread suggests basic upkeep may have been inconsistent. A pre-purchase inspection by a qualified mechanic is advised to confirm the integrity of steering and suspension components , which are not always flagged in MOT tests but can deteriorate silently.
