2012 Citroen Berlingo 1.6L Diesel · LD12 HOA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status with a consistent history of passing over the last several years. The most recent test conducted on 10 December 2024 at 147,871 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects. This followed a failure just four miles prior on the same day, though the lack of recorded defects on that specific failure suggests it was likely an administrative error or a minor sensor issue that was rectified immediately before the retest, rather than a systemic mechanical failure. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a 14-year-old van, averaging approximately 10,500 miles per annum. Between September 2021 at 130,907 miles and December 2024 at 147,871 miles, the vehicle covered 16,964 miles, indicating a steady rate of use rather than long periods of neglect or heavy commercial strain. This regular usage is generally beneficial for mechanical components like seals and brake systems which can degrade when a vehicle sits stationary. The data suggests the owner has maintained a predictable level of operation. While the MOT record is clean of advisories, an in-person inspection must focus on common age-related wear points for this model and mileage. A buyer should examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for fatigue, as these often show wear after 140,000 miles. Given the age, a thorough check for structural corrosion on the rear sills and subframe is essential, as the MOT does not always flag surface rust until it becomes structural. Checking the brake system for binding calipers and inspecting the condition of the tyres will ensure the clean history reflects the actual current state of the mechanical hardware.
