2013 Citroen Berlingo 1.6L Diesel · VE62 YFT

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 7 February 2026 at 115,600 miles with no recorded defects, indicating a stable and healthy mechanical status. The recent history shows a consistent pattern of passing inspections without advisories, which suggests that the vehicle has been maintained to a professional standard over the last four years. The failed test on 27 October 2023 at 93,258 miles was rectified within a week, leading to a clean pass on 3 November 2023, confirming that any previous issues were addressed promptly rather than ignored. At thirteen years of age and 115,600 miles, the vehicle has averaged approximately 8,900 miles per annum, which is consistent with typical usage for this model. The mileage accumulation has remained steady, with roughly 10,000 to 12,000 miles added annually between 2022 and 2026. This indicates regular use rather than long-term storage, which is generally preferable for mechanical health as it prevents the seizing of calipers and the degradation of seals often seen in vehicles left standing for extended periods. Given the absence of recurring advisories in the recent record, the primary focus for a physical inspection should remain on standard consumable items that do not always appear on MOT certificates. You should check the condition of the brake discs for surface corrosion and the pads for remaining friction material, as these are often replaced between tests. Inspect the suspension bushes and the condition of the CV joint gaiters, as these rubber components are prone to perishing on a vehicle of this age. While the MOT history is clean, verify that the timing belt has been replaced according to the manufacturer schedule, as this is a critical maintenance item that falls outside the scope of a standard roadworthiness test.
