MOT Analysis

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

17 MOT tests are recorded for this 1997 Citroen Berlingo (R386 VDA) between April 2006 and November 2020.

The record contains 14 passes and 3 failures.

The most recent test on 17 November 2020 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 3 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (12 issues), Brakes (6 issues), Tyres (6 issues), Windscreen (5 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 30 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: “Nearside Rear Brake hose excessively deteriorated fluid leak (1.1.12 (b) (ii))”; “Offside Front Rear fog lamp not working (1.3.2b)”; “Horn not working (1.6.2a)”.
