2015 Citroen Berlingo 1.6L Diesel · LC65 OUG

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile following a recent successful MOT on 11 March 2026 at 158,498 miles. The record shows a consistent pattern of immediate rectification, as seen in the failed tests on 10 March 2026 and 23 January 2025, which were both cleared within the same day. This suggests that while the vehicle occasionally fails on minor items, the owner or operator is proactive in addressing defects to maintain compliance. The mileage accumulation is high for an 11-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 14,409 miles per year. The data shows a significant increase of nearly 10,000 miles between the February 2024 test and the January 2025 test, indicating heavy, consistent usage rather than short-distance commuting. This high annual mileage places increased stress on mechanical components and consumables, particularly the drivetrain and suspension systems, which should be a primary focus for any prospective buyer. Given the high mileage and the nature of the previous failures, a physical inspection should prioritise the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers. The repeated failures on the same day suggest the vehicle may be prone to minor consumable issues such as wiper blades, bulbs, or tyre tread depth. A thorough check of the brake discs and calipers for uneven wear or binding is also advised, alongside a scrutiny of the underside for structural corrosion, which often accelerates on high-mileage utility vehicles like this Citroen.
