2012 Citroen Berlingo 1.6L Diesel · LD62 ABV

The Citroen Berlingo shows a currently roadworthy status following its most recent MOT pass on 29 May 2025 at 59,499 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable on paper, as the 2024 and 2025 tests both ended in passes with clean sheets after initial administrative failures. No worsening mechanical faults or recurring advisories appear across the available record. The mileage pattern is irregular for a 14-year-old vehicle. In the 5 June 2023 test the van recorded 84,792 miles, yet by 29 May 2024 it showed only 55,351 miles, a drop of over 29,000 miles that points to either a clocking event or a late-corrected odometer error. Annual use then ran low at roughly 4,250 miles per year, with 55,355 miles in May 2024 and 59,499 by May 2025. The sparse history and clean results limit deeper wear analysis, but the earlier high reading warrants caution. A buyer should physically verify the true mileage through service invoices, V5C history, and diagnostic odometer reads, given the 2023 to 2024 reversal. Although no tester flagged suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or structural corrosion, the long standing periods implied by low recent use can seize calipers and rot brake lines. Inspect underneath for chassis rust and check tyre sidewall cracking from age rather than wear. The twin failed entries on 29 May 2024 and 29 May 2025 at 55,351 and 59,495 miles with no defects suggest paperwork or presentation issues, not mechanical rejects. Previous keepers likely kept basic upkeep current but the odometer anomaly means in-person verification of drivetrain and emissions integrity is essential before purchase.
