2016 Citroen Berlingo 1.6L Diesel · WJ16 KMF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history shows signs of reactive rather than preventative care. The most recent MOT test on 20 October 2025 at 81,767 miles initially failed due to a nonoperative offside front position lamp, offside rear stop lamps, and an inoperative engine management indication lamp. While these defects were rectified to secure a pass, the presence of an engine MIL failure suggests an underlying electronic or sensor issue that requires close monitoring to ensure it does not recur. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,177 miles per year. There is a notable gap in records between the September 2024 test at 76,040 miles and the October 2025 test at 81,767 miles, during which only 5,727 miles were covered. This interval indicates relatively low annual usage, which can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components or fuel system issues despite the low overall heavily reading. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension assembly, as the September 2024 test identified severely deteriorated anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust covers on both sides. This indicates a wear pattern across the front end that may necessitate replacing bushes or links to prevent future play. Given the recent failure of the engine management indication lamp, a diagnostic scan is essential before purchase to confirm that the engine MIL fault code has been properly cleared and not simply masked, as this could point to more expensive way components or sensor faults.
