2012 Citroen Berlingo 1.6L Diesel · WF54 ACS

The 2012 Citroen Berlingo passed its most recent MOT on 21 May 2025 at an unrecorded odometer reading, leaving a roughly fifteen-month gap with no further inspection data before today. Five test entries exist across 2022 to 2025, four of which are passes and one a failure on the same date as a pass in May 2024. The absence of advisories or defect notes across every recorded outcome suggests the record is largely clean on paper, though this also indicates that any emerging wear items since May 2025 have not been formally documented. The overall trend reads as stable but unverified at present. Mileage progression is difficult to trace because only the final figure of 99,441 miles is recorded, with no odometer readings supplied for the intervening tests. Against a fourteen-year age, this equates to roughly 7,100 miles annually, which is typical for a vehicle of this profile, though it tells us nothing about how those miles were accumulated or whether long stationary periods interrupted use. Without incremental figures between 2022 and 2025, any gaps in driving pattern or unusual mileage bursts cannot be confirmed from the data provided. The MOT file is too sparse in odometer detail to draw firm conclusions about usage intensity. A prospective buyer should not treat the clean advisory record as proof of mechanical soundness. The May 2024 failure occurred on the same day as a pass, which is unusual and warrants a physical inspection of the components involved, particularly suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, calipers, and exhaust integrity, as these are common failure points on high-mileage Berlingos. Given the absence of recorded readings, verifying the true current mileage via the dashboard and service documentation is essential, as clocked or inconsistent figures are a known risk in older commercial-derived vehicles. A pre-purchase inspection focusing on structural corrosion around the rear load floor, sills, and subframe mounting points is advisable, since MOT tests do not always capture early bodywork degradation outside prescribed structural zones. Finally, check the condition of consumables such as tyres, brake pads, and the timing belt service interval, as the MOT file does not record these wear items.
