2013 Citroen Berlingo 1.6L Diesel · LB13 EYR

The Citroen Berlingo presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 27 August 2025 at 204,576 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three preceding annual tests from 2022 to 2024 also passed cleanly. The only blemish is a failed test on 31 August 2023 at 188,068 miles, reversed the very next day on 1 September 2023 with a pass and no defects listed, suggesting an administrative or minor rectification rather than a serious mechanical fault. The van has covered 204,576 miles in roughly thirteen years, an average of about 15,737 miles per year, which is high for a 2013 light commercial. Mileage rose from 174,101 in September 2022 to 188,068 by August 2023, then to 195,376 in August 2024 and 204,576 by August 2025, showing consistent annual use of around 9,000 to 14,000 miles with no standing gaps. The MOT history is sparse on advisories, with no corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions issues ever flagged across the five records. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and consumable wear not captured by the clean tests. High mileage of this order accelerates degradation of coil springs, binding calipers, and tyre tread even when the tester records no defects. The 2023 fail with no listed defect warrants confirmation that whatever caused the rejection was properly corrected rather than cleared on paperwork alone. Given the unbroken pass sequence since September 2022 and absence of recurring problems, the vehicle shows evidence of basic upkeep suited to a working van. Pre-purchase checks should focus on underbody rust, drivetrain condition, and brake component thickness to verify the record reflects the true mechanical state.
