2016 Citroen Berlingo 1.6L Diesel · NK66 CAA

The most recent MOT on 2024-09-03 showed the 2016 Citroen Berlingo passed with 173,723 miles. No defects were recorded, suggesting the vehicle met safety and emissions standards at that time. However, the 2023-09-11 MOT failed, just one day before a subsequent pass on 2023-09-12. This rapid turnaround implies a minor issue was likely addressed quickly, though no defects were logged for either test. The lack of recorded defects in other MOTs (2022, 2021) indicates a generally clean history, but the single failure raises questions about potential underlying issues. The vehicle’s mileage of 173,723 miles over 10 years equates to roughly 17,372 miles annually, which is significantly higher than average for its age. This suggests frequent use, which could accelerate wear on components like brakes, suspension, and the drivetrain. However, the absence of defects in most MOTs does not confirm whether this wear has led to safety risks. The high mileage alone does not definitively indicate poor condition, but it increases the likelihood of hidden deterioration in critical systems. The MOT pattern shows no consistent worsening trend.
