2004 Citroen Berlingo 1.9L Diesel · N16 TAM

The 2004 Citroen Berlingo shows a stable roadworthiness trend with a clean pass at the most recent test on 2023-05-26 at 104,153 miles. No defects or advisories appear across the five recorded MOT entries, and the May 2023 result confirms the vehicle left the testing station in a compliant condition. The maintenance record presents no worsening faults and no recurring mechanical issues requiring intervention. The mileage pattern reflects exceptionally light use for a 22-year-old vehicle. The record shows 98,349 miles at the December 2019 test, rising to 101,129 miles by December 2020, then 103,817 miles in May 2022 and 104,153 miles by May 2023. That equates to roughly 4,734 miles per year against its age. A notable gap exists between the December 2020 and May 2022 tests, with no entry for 2021, and the December 2020 to May 2022 period added only 2,688 miles. Low annual accumulation suggests prolonged standing periods, which carries its own risks for seals, tyres, and brake components even where the MOT shows clean. The May 2022 failure at 103,816 miles recorded no defects, indicating a administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault, with the vehicle passing the next day at 103,817 miles. Given the sparse and clean history, a buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for age-related degradation not captured by the pass results. Standing time between 2020 and 2022 makes corroded brake calipers and perished rubber components a realistic concern despite the absence of advisories. Structural integrity and exhaust emissions show no flagged corrosion or failures across the record. The clean MOT trail implies previous owners kept the Berlingo to a basic legal standard, though the low mileage and 2021 gap mean in-person checks of underbody rust and fluid condition remain prudent before purchase.
