2012 Citroen Berlingo 1.6L Diesel · T27 FBW

The Citroen Berlingo shows a broadly stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent test on 17 October 2024 at 123,733 miles returning a pass and no defects recorded. The prior test on 4 October 2024 at 123,730 miles failed, yet the DVSA entry lists no defects, which points to an administrative or presentation failure rather than a mechanical fault. Across the five tests from 2021 to 2024, the vehicle cleared each annual examination without advisories, indicating no escalating wear pattern in the official record. The mileage progression is consistent with typical use for a 2012 vehicle. The October 2021 test at 100,215 miles, October 2022 at 105,923, October 2023 at 110,954, and October 2024 at 123,733 show an average of roughly 8,800 miles per year. A jump of 12,779 miles between October 2023 and October 2024 sits above the earlier yearly increments but remains within normal bounds. The record is sparse on faults, with no flagged consumable wear or structural issues across the timeline. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's fourteen-year age and 123,733 miles. The clean MOT history offers no evidence of corrosion or binding calipers, but DVSA tests do not strip components. The unexplained failure in October 2024 with zero defects warrants confirmation that the logbook and test certificate align with DVSA systems. Previous keepers appear to have maintained basic annual compliance, as the Berlingo passed four consecutive tests before the anomalous 2024 failure. No recurring advisories suggest skipped upkeep on tyres or wipers. Physical checks of underbody structural integrity and exhaust emissions remain prudent before purchase.
