2010 Citroen Berlingo 1.6L Diesel · LG10 AEJ

The 2010 Citroen Berlingo demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend based on its most recent MOT on 2026-02-11, which passed with 115,281 miles. However, the preceding test on 2026-01-29 recorded a failure despite no defects being listed, raising questions about the accuracy of the record or potential unresolved issues. Subsequent tests from 2024-02-12 to 2025-02-11 showed consistent passing results with no defects, suggesting the vehicle maintained compliance until the latest anomaly. The lack of specific defect details in the failure entry limits definitive conclusions, but the overall pattern indicates no significant mechanical degradation in the past two years. The vehicle’s mileage of 115,281 miles over 16 years equates to an average of 7,205 miles annually, aligning with typical usage for its age. Notable gaps in the MOT history include a 15,418-mile increase between the 2025-02-11 test (105,894 miles) and the 2026-02-11 test (115,281 miles), which may reflect accelerated usage or data entry inconsistencies. The 2024-02-12 test at 99,063 miles showed no defects, while the 2025-02-10 failure at 105,892 miles—just two miles prior to a passing test the next day—suggests potential administrative errors or transient issues. The sparse defect reporting across the record implies either meticulous maintenance or incomplete testing. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, given the vehicle’s age and mileage, as well as the braking system for binding calipers or uneven disc wear. Corrosion in the underbody or exhaust system warrants scrutiny, particularly in areas prone to moisture exposure. While the latest MOT confirms compliance, the unexplained failure and rapid mileage growth necessitate a thorough pre-purchase inspection to verify the integrity of critical components and address any hidden wear not captured in the MOT records.
