2020 Citroen Berlingo 1.5L Diesel · SM70 AEV

The vehicle currently presents a clean roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT in October 2025 at 97,360 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend shows an improving trajectory, as the vehicle transitioned from failing in previous years to achieving clean passes without any advisories in the last two inspections. This suggests that the previous owner addressed identified issues and has since maintained the vehicle to the minimum testing standards. The mileage profile indicates high usage for a six-year-old van, averaging approximately 16,000 miles per year. Between the October 2023 test at 60,645 miles and the November 2024 test at 84,297 miles, the vehicle covered over 23,000 miles in just thirteen months. This rapid accumulation is consistent with long-distance commercial use which typically accelerates the wear on suspension components, brake hardware, and drivetrain elements. The consistent annual intervals between tests suggest a routine approach to compliance despite the high-intensity usage. While the most recent records are positive, the historical failures at 60,645 and 84,297 miles indicate that the vehicle has required intervention to remain roadworthy. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the front suspension bushes and coil springs, as high-mileage Berlingos often show significant degradation in these areas. Checking the brake discs for uneven wear or binding calipers is also advisable given the high mileage. Furthermore, the chassis should be examined for corrosion around the structural mounting points to ensure the high usage has not compromised the integrity of the vehicle in ways that a standard tester might have overlooked between temporary repairs.
