2013 Citroen Berlingo 1.6L Diesel · ML63 ABX

This Citroen Berlingo presents a stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 26 September 2025 at 111,509 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the record shows a failure on the same day, the lack of listed defects suggests a clerical error or a minor administrative issue rather than a mechanical failure. The absence of advisories across multiple years indicates a vehicle that has been maintained to a standard that consistently meets minimum legal requirements. The mileage pattern is consistent with the vehicle's age. It has covered approximately 8,578 miles per year over thirteen years. The distance between the August 2022 test at 95,231 miles and the September 2023 test at 104,775 miles shows a period of higher usage, totaling nearly 9,500 miles in a year. More recent intervals, such as the 2,730 miles added between September 2024 and September 2025, suggest a decrease in annual utility. The MOT history is unusually clean for a vehicle of this age and type. There are no recorded failures or advisories regarding suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake disc corrosion. This lack of data does not guarantee perfection but implies the previous owner addressed wear and tear before the official tests. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on areas the MOT tester may have overlooked or that do not trigger a failure. Check for structural corrosion on the chassis and sills, as these often degrade before becoming MOT failures. Inspect the condition of the clutch and gearbox operation, as the MOT does not test for mechanical slip or gear synchronisation issues. Verify the service history for oil changes and timing belt replacements to ensure the engine has been maintained beyond the basic legal safety checks.
