2015 Citroen Berlingo 1.6L Diesel · LP15 MXF

The most recent MOT test on 29 April 2025 confirms this Citroën Berlingo passed without defects at 74,177 miles, a clean result that aligns with the vehicle’s consistent history of passing tests. However, the record shows two failed attempts at the 2023 and 2022 tests—both at the same mileage intervals (54,401 and 63,809 miles)—though no specific faults were logged. This suggests either administrative errors in the testing process or a pattern of repeated testing without resolution, which is unusual for structural or critical failures. The final pass in April 2025, just under a year ago, indicates the vehicle remains roadworthy for now, but the lack of recorded issues does not preclude hidden wear, particularly in components like suspension bushes or brake calipers, which often fail intermittently. The mileage progression shows a steady accumulation of roughly 6,700 miles annually, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. There are no significant gaps or spikes in usage, though the repeated testing at identical mileage intervals—without documented faults—stands out as anomalous. This could imply the vehicle was either kept in regular use with no major issues or subjected to unnecessary retesting, possibly due to uncertainty over minor advisories or owner concerns. The absence of a service history or additional maintenance records means wear on high-wear items like tyres, brake pads, and suspension components cannot be verified beyond the MOT’s surface-level checks. Given the lack of specific failure details, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of the suspension system, particularly the rear axle and bushes, as these are common failure points in this model. The brakes should be scrutinised for uneven wear or binding calipers, even though no advisories were recorded. Tyre tread depth and structural integrity of the wheel arches should also be checked, as corrosion or damage could develop without MOT detection. The repeated testing history hints at potential oversight of minor but critical components, so thorough visual and functional checks are essential before purchase.
