2009 Citroen Berlingo 1.6L Diesel · MK09 EUN

The 2025-06-03 MOT entry shows the vehicle passed with several minor defects, including slightly defective headlamp lenses, corroded rear coil springs, and vehicle structure corrosion. However, the same date also records a failed MOT with identical issues plus non-working stop and position lamps. This inconsistency may indicate a follow-up test or data duplication, but the recurring defects suggest unresolved concerns. Recurring mechanical patterns include headlamp lens defects, corroded coil springs, and vehicle structure corrosion. The 2024 MOTs reveal similar issues, such as a deteriorated CV boot and an oil leak, which were not fully addressed by 2025. The 2023 MOT was clean, but defects emerged in 2024, indicating a worsening trend. Structural and electrical issues persist, raising concerns about long-term reliability. The vehicle’s mileage of 79,530 miles over 17 years equates to roughly 4,678 miles annually—low for its age. This could imply lighter use or extended periods of inactivity, which may contribute to corrosion and component degradation. While lower mileage might suggest less wear on moving parts, the observed rust and repeated electrical faults counteract this benefit.
