Our Verdict
Recommended as a low-mileage utility opt
Focus your attention on the braking system. The MOT history shows a recurring advisory for front brake discs being worn, pitted, or scored for three consecutive years (2022, 2023, and 2024). You should confirm whether these discs were replaced after the February 2024 test or if they are still in use.
Request full service documentation for the 1.6L diesel engine to verify that the timing belt and water pump have been replaced according to the manufacturer's intervals. Given the vehicle's age, check for any signs of corrosion on the chassis and underbody, which is common for utility vehicles of this era.
The 1560cc diesel engine typically offers efficient fuel economy for its class, making it suitable for higher-mileage use. Annual costs will include road tax based on its CO2 emissions and insurance, which generally falls into a moderate group for small vans or MPVs.
Typical maintenance for a diesel Berlingo of this age includes regular oil changes and fuel filter replacements. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance, are likely to be in the region of £1,200-£1,600.
Prioritise an inspection of the front brake discs to ensure they are no longer pitted or scored, as this was a persistent advisory from 2022 through 2024. Check the near-side rear light lens to ensure the crack noted in the 2024 MOT has been repaired and is watertight.
Inspect the condition of all tyres, particularly the rear pair which were noted as wearing in February 2024. Finally, check the engine bay for any leaks and ensure the diesel particulate filter (DPF), if fitted, is functioning correctly by checking for any warning lights on the dashboard.
This 2013 black Citroen Berlingo has a consistent MOT pass record, with five consecutive passes recorded between 2022 and 2026. It has covered 97,302 miles, which is relatively low for a vehicle of this age. The two most recent MOT tests in 2025 and 2026 were completed with no defects recorded.
Aggregate data is unavailable for this model, but this specific vehicle has maintained a consistent pass rate over its recent MOT history.
