2023 Citroen Berlingo 1000 EN-Prise ED Bhdi 1.5L Diesel · SL23 AWP

This Citroën Berlingo’s most recent MOT test on 2026-03-27—just four months ago—shows an unusual but technically clean pass, despite the identical mileage entry for both pass and fail. The absence of defects or advisories across both tests suggests no recurring mechanical issues were detected by the tester, though the duplicate entries imply either an administrative error or a rare DVSA system anomaly. Without faults recorded, there is no evidence of worsening conditions in brakes, suspension, or emissions systems. However, the lack of advisories also means no proactive warnings were issued for components like suspension bushes or coil springs, leaving their true condition unverified. The vehicle’s mileage of 25,150 miles over three years—roughly 8,383 miles annually—falls within the expected range for a commercial van of this age. There are no gaps or spikes in usage to suggest neglect or excessive wear beyond standard expectations. The single MOT entry in 2026, combined with the absence of prior tests in the record, means there is no historical context for wear trends. Buyers should note that this low mileage could indicate limited usage, but it also means critical components like brake discs and pads, suspension mounts, and exhaust systems may not have been fully stressed under heavy loads. Given the lack of faults or advisories, the most prudent areas for an in-person inspection would be the suspension components—particularly the rear coil springs and bushes—since they are often overlooked in low-mileage vans. The brakes, while not failed, should be checked for uneven wear or binding calipers, as repeated use without recorded issues could mask subtle deterioration. Structural integrity, especially around the wheel arches and sills, should be examined for corrosion, as commercial vans are prone to hidden rust despite low mileage. Finally, the dual MOT entries raise caution: verify the vehicle’s service history independently, as the record does not confirm whether maintenance was consistently performed between tests.
