2017 Citroen Berlingo 1.6L Diesel · GV17 VLW

This Citroen Berlingo presents an exceptionally clean MOT history with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 28 July 2025 at 38,521 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back several years, indicating a vehicle that has been kept in a roadworthy condition without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is notably low for a nine year old vehicle, averaging roughly 4,280 miles per year. There was a significant increase in usage between July 2023 and July 2024, where the odometer rose from 16,827 to 25,739 miles. A further jump occurred leading up to the July 2025 test, reaching 38,521 miles. This suggests the car transitioned from very light use to more regular deployment in the last two years. The record shows a strange failure on 14 July 2022 at 9,046 miles followed by an immediate pass the next day with no defects listed. This likely indicates a clerical error or a minor administrative issue rather than a mechanical fault. Because the MOT history is devoid of advisories regarding corrosion, suspension bushes, or brake wear, there are no specific red flags in the data. A buyer should nonetheless focus on components that degrade due to age rather than mileage. Low-use vehicles often suffer from perished rubber seals, tyre cracking, or binding brake calipers. I recommend a physical check of the tyre date codes and a thorough inspection of the underbody for surface corrosion, as the lack of MOT advisories does not guarantee the absence of age-related degradation.
