2013 Citroen Berlingo 1.6L Diesel · JC08 MAC

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 4 June 2026 with no defects or advisories recorded. Looking at the long term history, the maintenance trend is notably improving. While the period between 2021 and 2022 saw several advisories regarding brake deterioration and tyre wear, the subsequent four years of clean passes indicate that these issues were likely addressed and that the vehicle is currently being maintained to a high standard. With a recorded mileage of 89,259 miles over thirteen years, the vehicle has averaged approximately 6,866 miles per annum. This represents a moderate and consistent usage profile for a vehicle of this age and type. This level of mileage suggests that the drivetrain and major mechanical components have not been subjected to excessive wear, though it is low enough that the buyer should verify that the vehicle has not suffered from prolonged periods of inactivity which can lead to seal degradation or fluid contamination. Despite the recent clean bills of health, the historical record of binding calipers and pitted brake discs on both the front and rear axles is a point of interest. During a test drive, the buyer should be alert for any brake shudder through the pedal or a slight pull to one side under braking, which could indicate residual caliper issues. It is advisable to inspect the inner rims for excessive brake dust buildup, which often signals a binding caliper. Given the age of the vehicle, the buyer should also examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of perishing or corrosion, as these rubber and steel components typically degrade regardless of mileage. Further physical inspection should focus on the condition of the tyres beyond the legal tread depth, specifically looking for sidewall cracking or perishing due to the vehicle's age. The buyer should request the service history to confirm that calendar based maintenance, such as coolant and brake fluid flushes, has been performed, as these fluids degrade over time. Finally, a thorough check of the underside for structural corrosion, particularly around the sills and chassis rails, is essential for a vehicle of this vintage to ensure the overall structural integrity remains sound.
