2012 Citroen Berlingo 1.6L Diesel · SH12 XHM

The vehicle is currently recorded as roadworthy, having passed the 12 June 2026 MOT at 98,532 miles. The most recent test flagged an advisory for a near‑side front suspension arm pin or bush showing wear, and an off‑side rear tyre with slight damage, but no items required immediate remedial action. Compared with earlier failures, the pattern shows a move from outright failures in 2021‑2022 to a clean pass in 2023 and 2025, indicating an overall stabilising trend despite the persistence of some recurring wear items. Mileage has risen from 53,806 miles in April 2018 to 98,532 miles in June 2026, an average of roughly 7,000 miles per year. The increments between tests are consistent – for example, 81,823 miles in June 2023 and 92,774 miles in May 2025 – suggesting no periods of unusually high mileage accumulation or long gaps without recorded use. The mileage profile therefore aligns with typical usage for a fourteen‑year‑old light commercial vehicle. A prospective buyer should give particular attention to the front suspension assembly, where repeated advisories cite wear on the near‑side arm pin/bush (June 2026) and excessive wear on the off‑side ball joint and Macpherson strut top bush (June 2021, May 2024). The near‑side rear shock absorber was recorded with a serious fluid leak in June 2021, so a visual inspection for oil seepage is advisable. Tyre condition warrants scrutiny; the off‑side rear tyre showed cracking in June 2026 and multiple tyres have been flagged as close to the legal tread limit in earlier years. Brake pads were noted as thin on both front and rear axles in 2022, so pad thickness should be measured. Finally, the off‑side sill corrosion recorded in June 2021 indicates structural rust that may affect rigidity, and all indicator lamps and registration plate lights should be verified as functional.
