2016 Citroen Berlingo 1.6L Diesel · LD66 JYC

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clear trend of improving maintenance in recent years. The most recent test in September 2025 at 58,385 miles resulted in no defects recorded, indicating that the mechanical issues identified in previous years have been addressed. This follows a period where the vehicle showed several minor consumable-related failures, suggesting the current ownership is proactive in rectifying MOT faults as they appear. The mileage pattern is remarkably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,800 miles per annum. The data shows consistent usage, with the vehicle covering roughly 10,000 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests and similar intervals since the 2023 inspection. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, it can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components over time, which was evidenced by the 2021 record regarding perished and cracked tyres. A physical inspection should focus on the braking system and tyres, as these have been recurring areas of concern. The 2021 test flagged worn front brake discs, and the September 2022 test noted thin rear brake pads, meaning the buyer should verify the current thickness of all pads and the condition of the rotor surfaces. Given the low mileage, the buyer must also check for sidewall cracking or dry rot on the tyres, as the history shows the vehicle is prone to age-related tyre deterioration rather than just tread wear.
