2012 Citroen Berlingo 1.6L Diesel · PK12 DXM

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 27 November 2024 at 168,557 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, although the record shows a pattern of immediate failures followed by passes on the same day in two consecutive years. This behavior in 2023 and 2024 suggests that the previous owner addresses MOT faults only when prompted by a test failure rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. At 14 years old, the recorded mileage of 168,557 miles represents an annual average of approximately 12,000 miles. This indicates consistent, high-frequency usage rather than long periods of the vehicle standing. Between November 2022 and November 2024, the vehicle covered 11,149 miles, confirming a steady rate of wear. This level of mileage places significant strain on drivetrain components, suspension bushings, and braking systems, which are prone to fatigue on a vehicle of this age. While the most recent test recorded no advisories or defects, the high mileage necessitates a thorough physical inspection of the structural integrity and running components. A buyer should specifically check for corrosion on the sills and rear mounting points, which are common failure points for Citroen of this era. Given the history of reactive repairs, a close inspection of the brake calipers for binding and the condition of coil springs is vital to ensure the vehicle is not nearing the end of its mechanical life cycle.
