2015 Citroen Berlingo 1.6L Diesel · MV65 XTS

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the MOT history reveals a reactive maintenance pattern rather than proactive care. While the most recent test in January 2026 at 93,037 miles resulted in a pass, the failure just one mile prior highlighted multiple safety-critical defects. The trend shows that the owner only addresses faults once they trigger an MOT failure, as evidenced by the horn, seat belt, and lighting issues persisting from the previous year's failure until they were rectified in early 2026. The mileage profile is consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,500 miles per year. Between January 2024 at 77,146 miles and January 2025 at 85,333 miles, the vehicle covered 8,187 miles, followed by another 7,704 miles leading into the January 2026 test. This steady accumulation suggests regular use rather than long periods of stationary storage, which generally benefits the health of rubber components and mechanical seals despite the age. A buyer should specifically inspect the front braking system, as the record shows recurring worn discs and thin pads across the 2025 and 2026 tests. The failure for a split offside front CV boot in January 2026 is a point of concern; the buyer must check for grease leakage and internal damage to ensure the joint has not begun premature failure. Additionally, the offside front seat belt webbing progressed from slightly frayed to a significant cut over 2mm between 2025 and 2026, necessitating a full replacement of the assembly to ensure structural integrity during an impact.
