2014 Citroen Berlingo 1.6L Diesel · VO64 HTJ

The 2014 Citroen Berlingo presents a clean and stable maintenance record. The most recent MOT on 11 February 2026 at 239,040 miles passed with zero defects, a strong indicator of current roadworthiness. Looking back through the history, the trend is remarkably consistent. Every single test from January 2022 through February 2026 has been a clean pass with no advisories or failures. This pattern suggests a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard, with no recurring mechanical or structural issues flagged by successive testers over a four-year period. The mileage accumulation tells an interesting story. Between the January 2023 test at 188,604 miles and the December 2024 test at 220,565 miles, the van covered 31,961 miles in roughly two years, a significant spike compared to the earlier average of around 14,000 miles per year. This acceleration in use, jumping from a lower annual rate to nearly 16,000 miles per year in that window, points to a period of heavier commercial or long-distance use. The record is sparse in terms of defects, but the data points are consistent and show no gaps in testing, which supports a continuous and documented service life. Despite the clean MOT history, the sheer volume of miles demands a careful physical inspection. At 239,040 miles, consumable components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers are well past their typical service life, even if they have not yet triggered a failure. The braking system, including discs, pads, and calipers, should be examined closely for uneven wear or binding, as high-mileage vans often suffer from caliper seizure that can pass an MOT but compromise performance. The exhaust system and its mountings deserve attention, particularly for corrosion or leaks that may develop between tests. The structural integrity of the load floor, sills, and subframe should be thoroughly checked for corrosion, especially given the van's age and commercial duty cycle. High-mileage Berlingos can develop hidden rust around mounting points and jacking areas. Tyre condition and alignment should also be assessed, as uneven wear patterns can indicate tracking issues or worn steering components not yet severe enough to fail an MOT. The clean record is reassuring, but a pre-purchase inspection by a qualified technician remains essential to verify the condition of these high-wear items.
