2015 Citroen Berlingo 1.6L Diesel · LS65 EVR

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, though the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive ownership style. The most recent test in September 2025 at 127,276 miles resulted in a pass following a failure for an inoperative registration plate lamp and an oil leak. While the leak was noted as not excessive, its presence on a high-mileage engine suggests ongoing seal degradation that requires consistent monitoring to ensure it does not escalate into a more significant mechanical failure between future tests. At 127,276 miles over 11 years, the Berlingo averages approximately 11,500 miles per annum, which aligns with typical usage for a light-commercial vehicle. The record shows consistent usage patterns, with 7,461 miles covered between the October 2023 and September 2024 tests, and another 4,143 miles leading the September 2025 inspection. This regularity suggests the vehicle is not sat for long periods, though it also means that the drivetrain components and suspension are subjected to consistent wear. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the oil leak identified in the 2025 test to determine if it originates from the sump plug, rocker cover gasket, or front crank seal. The 2023 record highlights issues with uneven tyre wear and edge wear, which often points to poor alignment or worn suspension bushes and shock absorbers; checking the current state of the tyres and steering geometry is essential. Given the age and mileage, a thorough check of the chassis for structural corrosion and exhaust integrity is also necessary, as the MOT history does not explicitly detail the condition of these underbody components.
