2017 Citroen Berlingo 1.6L Diesel · LL17 AEB

The 2017 Citroen Berlingo’s most recent MOT on 2025-07-12 at 159,510 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating the vehicle met roadworthiness standards at that time. However, the 2024-07-13 test—also at 142,771 miles—showed a failed result despite no defects being logged, which raises questions about the accuracy of the record. The subsequent pass on the same date suggests a possible administrative error or a resolved issue. Overall, the maintenance trend appears stable, with no recurring critical faults, but the lack of detailed defect reporting limits confidence in the vehicle’s mechanical state. The vehicle’s mileage of 159,510 miles at 9 years old equates to an average of 17,723 miles annually, significantly higher than typical usage. This rapid accumulation suggests frequent use, which can accelerate wear on consumables like tyres and brake components. The gap between the 2023-07-05 test (136,125 miles) and 2024-07-13 test (142,771 miles) shows a 6,646-mile increase in one year, aligning with the high annual average. While the MOT history lacks detailed fault records, the absence of structural or emission issues in recent tests implies the vehicle has been maintained to a basic standard, though not necessarily to a high one. A buyer should inspect the suspension for worn bushes and coil springs, given the high mileage, and check for brake disc warping or corrosion. The failed 2024 test, despite no defects, warrants verification of the vehicle’s braking system and exhaust emissions. Corrosion in underbody components, common in older vans, should also be assessed. While the MOT data shows no major issues, the lack of detailed reporting means a physical inspection is essential to confirm the vehicle’s condition and address potential hidden wear.
