2018 Citroen Berlingo 1.6L Diesel · LF18 ABO

The 2018 Citroen Berlingo’s most recent MOT on 2025-10-21 at 96,678 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable roadworthiness status. However, the prior test on 2024-10-25 at 94,892 miles also passed without issues, while a failed test on 2024-10-24 at 94,890 miles—just one day earlier—showed no defects. This inconsistency suggests a potential administrative error, as the same mileage and date range overlap. The absence of recurring mechanical faults in the record implies no immediate safety risks, but the vehicle’s high mileage for its age warrants scrutiny. The vehicle’s 96,678 miles over eight years equates to approximately 12,085 miles annually, significantly above average. A notable jump from 62,736 miles in March 2023 to 94,149 miles in April 2024—31,413 miles in 13 months—indicates rapid accumulation, which may accelerate wear on components like brake discs, suspension bushes, and tyres. The sparse MOT history between 2023 and 2024, with only one pass in April 2024, offers limited insight into maintenance patterns, though the recent pass suggests no critical failures. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system for worn coil springs or bushings, given the high mileage, and check brake discs for uneven wear or corrosion. The exhaust system and underbody should also be examined for rust, as rapid mileage can exacerbate corrosion. While no structural issues are flagged in the record, the vehicle’s age and usage history mean a pre-purchase inspection is essential to confirm the absence of hidden faults.
