2017 Citroen Berlingo 1.6L Diesel · SM67 ABZ

The 2017 Citroen Berlingo demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with no defects recorded in its last four MOT tests, including the most recent 2025-11-25 pass at 131,639 miles. The absence of failures or advisories in this period suggests consistent maintenance, though the vehicle’s high annual mileage of ~14,627 miles raises concerns about accelerated wear on consumables and mechanical components. The 2022-11-08 test recorded a failure, but no defects were listed, which may indicate a data anomaly or a minor issue resolved prior to subsequent passes. The mileage progression shows steady accumulation, with 79,709 miles in 2022, rising to 97,577 by 2023, 115,057 in 2024, and 131,639 in 2025. This pattern aligns with annual MOT intervals, suggesting regular usage but no significant gaps that might imply prolonged inactivity. However, the high mileage relative to the vehicle’s age increases the likelihood of wear on suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs, even if not flagged in the tests. The lack of recurring issues in the record indicates no systemic faults, but the vehicle’s age and usage warrant closer scrutiny of its mechanical integrity. A buyer should inspect the suspension for worn bushes or coil springs, which can cause uneven tyre wear or handling issues. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for corrosion or binding, as high mileage often exacerbates these problems. The exhaust system and underbody corrosion are also critical, as MOT tests may not always detect early-stage rust. While the MOT history shows no red flags, the vehicle’s high mileage and age necessitate a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm that critical components remain within safe operating limits.
