2012 Citroen Berlingo 1.6L Diesel · LD62 AEK

This vehicle presents an exceptionally stable maintenance profile with a consistent record of roadworthiness. The most recent MOT on 13 March 2024 at 105,253 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a four-year streak of clean passes, indicating a vehicle that has been kept in a state of repair that consistently meets DVSA standards without requiring corrective work between tests. The mileage accumulation is steady and typical for a 2012 model. The vehicle covered 6,335 miles between September 2020 and September 2021, and a similar volume of 5,794 miles between September 2021 and September 2022. Use decreased slightly in the final recorded period, with only 2,239 miles added between September 2023 and March 2024. This pattern suggests regular, moderate use rather than periods of prolonged standing or excessive commercial hauling. The total absence of advisories over five consecutive tests is rare for a vehicle of this age and type. The record shows no mentions of corrosion, suspension bush wear, or brake disc deterioration, which are common failure points for the Berlingo. While the paper trail is clean, the lack of recorded defects does not guarantee the absence of wear on long-term consumables. A physical inspection should focus on areas the MOT tester may overlook or that do not trigger a failure. Check the condition of the timing belt and water pump, as these are critical service items not covered by a standard MOT. Inspect the underside for surface corrosion and check the clutch pedal feel to ensure the drivetrain remains healthy despite the 105,253 recorded miles.
