2009 Citroen Berlingo 1.4L Petrol · ND09 UNV

The most recent MOT record for this 2009 Citroën Berlingo, tested on 29 October 2025 at 104,501 miles, confirms a clean pass with no defects or advisories. The preceding test on 23 October 2025—just six days earlier—was a failure, though no specific faults were logged, which suggests either a minor administrative oversight or a last-minute rectification of a non-recorded issue. The trend over the past three years remains stable, with every test between June 2022 and October 2025 resulting in a pass, including the July 2024 test at 101,011 miles. This consistency implies that major mechanical or structural failures have not been overlooked, though the lack of recorded advisories or defects means critical components like suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake binding conditions were not explicitly cleared by the tester. The recorded mileage progression of approximately 6,147 miles annually over the past seven years aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. There are no significant gaps in mileage that would indicate prolonged neglect, nor are there abrupt jumps suggesting intensive commercial or short-term private use. The interval between tests remains standard, with no evidence of extended periods where the vehicle may have been stationary or poorly maintained. However, the absence of any advisories or defects in the MOT history means potential wear items—such as brake pads, wiper blades, or suspension components—were not flagged, leaving their condition unverified. Given the lack of recorded faults, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of high-wear components that often fail without MOT detection. Focus on the suspension system, particularly the rear axle bushes and coil springs, as these are common failure points in this model and age, even if not always MOT-tested. The braking system warrants thorough examination, including rear caliper binding, disc thickness, and pad material, as these can degrade unevenly without triggering a fail. Structural integrity should also be assessed, particularly around the wheel arches, sills, and subframe, where corrosion can compromise safety without immediate MOT consequences. The absence of advisories in recent tests suggests these areas may have been overlooked, so visual and functional checks are essential.
