2011 Citroen Berlingo 1.6L Diesel · LD11 SZX

The 2023‑09‑30 MOT at 170,854 miles confirms the Citroen Berlingo remains roadworthy, with no defects recorded; the earlier failure on 2023‑09‑28 at the same mileage appears to be an isolated re‑test rather than an indication of worsening condition, suggesting a stable maintenance trend. The mileage progression shows a steady increase: 163,481 miles in September 2022, rising to 170,854 miles by late September 2023, an accumulation of roughly 7,400 miles in eleven months, consistent with normal annual usage for a fifteen‑year‑old vehicle and indicating no prolonged periods of standing. A buyer should therefore focus on the mechanical components that commonly develop wear: inspect the condition of the front and rear suspension bushes and coil springs for cracks or corrosion, examine the brake discs and calipers for binding or uneven wear, and look for structural rust on the chassis, wheel arches and sills. Although the MOT history shows no substantive faults, a physical inspection of tyre tread depth, wiper blade condition and exhaust integrity will verify that consumable items have been maintained, completing a prudent due‑diligence check before purchase.
