2014 Citroen Berlingo 1.6L Diesel · SM14 FRD

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on a history of clean MOT passes over several years. The most recent test on 20 May 2022 at 114,235 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. The failure noted ten days prior at 114,232 miles is anomalous as it listed no defects, suggesting either an administrative error or a clerical retest rather than a mechanical fault. Since October 2018, the vehicle has maintained a consistent standard of compliance without recurring failures or escalating advisories. The mileage pattern aligns with typical usage for a twelve-year-old van, averaging approximately 9,500 miles per annum. Data shows a steady accumulation of 13,378 miles between October 2018 and January 2020, followed by another 13,453 miles over the next 16 months. The most significant jump of 17,161 miles between May 2021 and May 2022 indicates a period of consistent use. However, because the last recorded MOT was conducted in May 2022, the vehicle is now four years out of date as of June 2026. This significant gap in testing data means the current state of consumable components and structural integrity is unknown. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and braking systems, as the record has not monitored these areas for an extended period. Given the age and mileage, specific attention should be paid to corrosion on the chassis and exhaust mounting points, which are common failure areas for this model. The inspector should also check for signs of binding calipers or perished suspension bushes, as the history provides no evidence of recent wear levels on these mechanical items. The lack of recent test data increases the risk of undetected mechanical degradation that may have developed since the 2022 certification.
