2018 Citroen Berlingo 1.6L Diesel · LD68 ADZ

The 2018 Citroen Berlingo’s most recent MOT on 2025-09-19 at 117,009 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable roadworthiness status. Previous tests from 2024-09-27 and 2023-09-28 also passed, though an apparent duplicate entry for 2024-09-27 shows a failed result with identical mileage, suggesting a data inconsistency. Despite this, the absence of defects in the last three tests implies consistent maintenance, though the high mileage of 117,009 miles—equivalent to 14,626 annual miles—raises concerns about accelerated wear on components like suspension, brakes, and drivetrain elements. The vehicle’s mileage progression reveals rapid accumulation, jumping from 58,235 miles in 2022 to 79,032 in 2023, then to 96,437 in 2024, and finally 117,009 in 2025. This pattern suggests heavy usage, which typically exacerbates wear on consumables and structural integrity. The lack of recorded defects in the MOT history is positive but does not eliminate the risk of hidden issues, particularly in components not tested during MOTs, such as exhaust emissions or corrosion in body panels. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, which are common in high-mileage vehicles, and check brake discs and calipers for uneven wear or binding. Corrosion in underbody areas, especially if the car was exposed to harsh conditions, warrants close examination. While the MOT records show no critical failures, the vehicle’s age and mileage necessitate a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the absence of undetected mechanical or structural degradation.
