2007 Citroen Berlingo 1.6L Diesel · KU07 VAY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status following its most recent MOT pass on 5 July 2024 at 137,306 miles. While the most recent test resulted in no defects, the history reveals a pattern of immediate failures followed by successful passes in both 2023 and 2024. This suggests that the previous owner maintained a reactive maintenance approach, addressing specific faults only when they triggered a test failure rather than following a preventative schedule that avoids MOT setbacks entirely. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a vehicle of this era's age, averaging approximately 7,200 miles per year. Between December 2021 and January 2023, the vehicle covered 2,000 miles, while a further 2,000 miles were recorded between January 2023 and July 2024. These low annual figures indicate the car may have sat for extended periods, which can lead to the degradation of rubber-based components such as brake lines, suspension bushes, and perished tyres despite the low mechanical wear on the drivetrain. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the structural integrity, specifically checking the sills and suspension mounting points where corrosion is common on older Berlingos. Because the MOT record shows failures without prior recorded advisories, the issues identified were likely related to discrete items like bulbs, wipers, or minor leaks that were rectified quickly. Test the braking system for binding calipers and check for fluid moisture to ensure that the low-frequency use has not caused internal corrosion within the hydraulic lines.
