2022 Citroen E-Berlingo 800 Enterprise PRO Electric · LD22 JYW

The most recent DVSA MOT test for the 2022 Citroen e-Berlingo was conducted on 4 April 2026, resulting in a pass alongside two recorded advisories. The earlier test on 24 March 2025 also passed but carried two advisories concerning rear tyre wear. Across both tests there are no failures, no dangerous defects, and no items categorised as major or minor, which suggests a generally stable maintenance trend; however, the recurrence of brake-related advisories at the rear axle on the latest test, following tyre wear advisories on the previous test, indicates that consumable components are being monitored rather than proactively replaced. This pattern is typical of a working vehicle that is covering meaningful mileage and is not necessarily a cause for immediate concern, but it does warrant careful inspection of the braking system and rear tyres before purchase. The recorded mileage of 61,742 miles over approximately four years equates to an annual usage of around 15,436 miles, which is notably high for a vehicle of this age and is likely indicative of commercial or fleet-style operation given the Enterprise Pro trim. This level of annual mileage will place greater than average demand on tyres, brake pads and discs, suspension bushes, coil springs, and the electric drivetrain components. Although there are no extended gaps in the MOT record that might suggest prolonged standing, the absence of very low mileage means that age-related deterioration such as tyre sidewall perishing is less of a concern than mechanical wear from sustained use. Buyers should be aware that high annual mileage on an electric van of this type typically translates to shorter service intervals for brake fluid, coolant, and reduction gear oil, as well as more frequent replacement of friction materials. On inspection, particular attention should be paid to the rear braking system in light of the latest advisories. The offside rear brake pads were flagged as wearing thin, meaning they are likely approaching the minimum friction material thickness and will probably require replacement within the next service interval. Symptoms to listen for on a test drive include any squealing or grinding noise from the rear wheels when applying the brakes, pulling to one side under braking, or a soft or spongy pedal feel. The rear brake discs were also noted as corroded, pitted, or scored, which on a light commercial vehicle often progresses to reduced braking efficiency, brake shudder under heavy pedal application, or visible lipping on the disc edge. A thorough physical inspection should measure remaining pad thickness, check disc wear against the manufacturer’s minimum thickness specification, and confirm that the rear calipers are sliding freely without binding, as seized calipers accelerate uneven pad and disc wear. The earlier advisories regarding the nearside and offside rear tyres wearing close to the legal limit and on the edge suggest alignment or suspension geometry issues, or simply the result of heavy laden use typical of a panel van. Before purchase, both rear tyres should be inspected for uneven shoulder wear, which may indicate worn rear suspension bushes, weak coil springs, or tracking irregularities, and the tread depth measured to confirm legal compliance. It is also prudent to verify the condition of the 12V auxiliary battery, which on electric vehicles supports ancillary systems and can degrade quickly with frequent short cycles, and to confirm that brake fluid has been changed within the recommended two-year interval. Given the mileage profile, a documented service history with evidence of periodic inspection of the high-voltage cooling system, reduction gearbox oil, and underbody protection against corrosion will provide further reassurance of sound mechanical upkeep.
