2016 Citroen Berlingo 1.6L Diesel · RK10 DAV

The 2016 Citroen Berlingo’s most recent MOT on 2025-09-26 at 106,003 miles recorded a pass with no defects, but the preceding test on 2025-09-25 at the same mileage failed with no recorded issues. This inconsistency raises questions about the reliability of the data, though the absence of defects in the final test suggests no critical failures. The vehicle’s maintenance history shows no recurring mechanical faults, but the lack of MOT records post-2025-09-26 means the current roadworthiness status remains unverified. The trend appears stable, with no escalating issues, but the gap between tests exceeds 10 months, which is beyond the typical annual interval. The vehicle’s mileage of 106,003 miles aligns with an average of 10,600 miles per year over its 10-year lifespan, indicating standard usage. The MOT records show gradual mileage increases: 78,747 (2022) to 87,102 (2023), 95,946 (2024), and 106,003 (2025), with no abrupt spikes or prolonged inactivity. The absence of defects in all recorded tests suggests the owner prioritized basic maintenance, though the 2025 failure without recorded issues may indicate a procedural error or unaddressed minor fault. The clean history lacks evidence of structural corrosion, brake wear, or suspension degradation, but this does not rule out hidden issues. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the underbody for rust, particularly around the chassis and wheel arches, as corrosion can develop unnoticed. The suspension system, including bushes and coil springs, should be checked for wear, as these components degrade over time without MOT testing. Brake discs and calipers require scrutiny for uneven wear or binding, while the exhaust system should be assessed for leaks or damage. The vehicle’s age and mileage necessitate a professional evaluation to confirm the absence of undetected mechanical or structural faults not captured in the MOT records.
