2018 Citroen Berlingo 1.6L Diesel · LD68 ADX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 3 December 2025 at 96,654 miles. While the latest result shows no defects, the history reveals a concerning pattern of immediate failures followed by passes. In both October 2024 and December 2025, the vehicle failed the test on the same day it subsequently passed, suggesting that the owner only addresses faults when strictly necessary to pass the legal inspection rather than following a preventative maintenance schedule. At 96,654 miles over eight years, this Berlingo averages approximately 12,000 miles per annum. This sits above the national average for a passenger car and indicates consistent, likely heavy-duty use. The record shows a significant burst of activity with 1,854 miles covered between November 2023 and October 2024, and another 5,911 miles covered in the fourteen months leading up to December 2025. This rapid mileage accumulation places considerable strain on drivetrain components, suspension, and braking systems. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension geometry, specifically checking for worn wish arm bushes and coil springs, which frequently fatigue on high-mileage vans. Given the recurring last-minute failures, the braking system should be scrutinized for binding calipers or thin disc surfaces. Because the record lacks specific advisories for corrosion, the age and mileage necessitate a close check for structural integrity on the sills and subframe, where rust often begins hidden before becoming a formal MOT failure.
