2020 Citroen Berlingo 1.5L Diesel · MA70 ABU

The Citroen Berlingo presents a currently roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 26 January 2026 at 95,072 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable on paper, though the test history shows two anomalous failures on 15 January 2026 and 27 September 2023 at identical mileages to the subsequent passes, with no defects logged on either occasion. Such paired fail-and-pass entries at the same odometer reading suggest administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than progressive mechanical deterioration. The recorded mileage of 95,072 against a 2020 build date equates to roughly 15,845 miles per year, a high annual figure for a light van of this age. The odometer advanced from 56,861 miles at the September 2023 test to 75,710 miles by October 2024, then jumped to 95,072 by January 2026. That final 19,362-mile accumulation in roughly fifteen months confirms sustained hard use. The DVSA data itself is sparse, showing clean sheets throughout with no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions, which limits our view of consumable wear. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of the suspension and steering components, given the high mileage and absence of any advisory capture across the record. The tester logged no structural integrity concerns, yet six years of heavy duty cycles will have loaded the coil springs and wishbone bushes beyond what a defect-free MOT implies. Verify the braking system in person, including caliper operation and disc condition, and check for underbody rust where the Berlingo's steel subframes typically degrade. The twin failure entries without recorded faults warrant a check of the VIN and test certificate authenticity before purchase.
