MOT Analysis

Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

24 MOT tests are recorded for this 1998 Citroen Berlingo (R138 ABK) between September 2005 and August 2024.

The record contains 20 passes and 4 failures.

The most recent test on 27 August 2024 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 4 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (7 issues), Brakes (5 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (4 issues), Lighting (2 issues), Bodywork (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 19 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.

Recorded failure items include: “Offside Front Wheel bearing rough when rotated (5.1.3 (b) (i))”; “Nearside Front Seat belt anchorage prescribed area strength or continuity significantly reduced floor corroded (7.1.1 (a”; “Offside Rear Brake hose leaking (3.6.A.1)”.
