2010 Citroen Berlingo 1.6L Diesel · LG10 AEC

The Citroen Berlingo passed its most recent MOT on 10 March 2026 at 273,241 miles with only a minor windscreen defect noted, and the maintenance trend across the last four passed tests reads as stable with no recurring mechanical failures. The earlier failure on 2 February 2023 for excessive corrosion at the nearside outer sill mounting area was rectified before the subsequent pass one day later, and no further structural advisories have appeared since. This suggests the prescribed repair held and the vehicle has remained broadly roadworthy through to the present date, some sixteen months after its 2010 registration. The mileage record shows consistent annual use well above typical class averages. The car covered roughly 17,000 miles per year, rising from 224,921 miles at the February 2023 failure to 254,071 miles by March 2025 and 273,241 miles by March 2026. No gaps or stagnant periods appear in the data; the odometer advanced about 19,000 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests and a further 19,000 by 2026. Such high, steady accumulation implies heavy service use, likely light commercial, and points to accelerated wear across suspension bushes, drivetrain joints, and brake components despite the clean advisory history. A buyer should physically inspect the nearside outer sill and surrounding suspension mounting structures for fresh corrosion or weld fatigue, given the 2023 structural failure even though the tester passed it after repair. The repeated windscreen damage logged in March 2025 and March 2026 indicates either environmental exposure or deferred glass care, and the pane should be checked for spreading cracks. At 273,241 miles, the front coil springs, brake discs, and rear calipers warrant measurement for wear, and the exhaust emissions should be verified against current limits given the engine's high cycle count.
