2016 Citroen Berlingo 1.6L Diesel · WM16 XKT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding engine and emissions. While the most recent test on August 22, 2025 at 174,879 miles passed, it followed a failure just eleven days prior. The persistence of a non-excessive oil leak across multiple tests in 2024 and 2025 indicates a recurring fault that the owner has opted to monitor rather than rectify, potentially masking the root cause. At 174,879 miles over a ten-year span, this Berlingo has averaged approximately 17,500 miles per annum, significantly exceeding the national average for light commercial vehicles. The data shows heavy usage patterns between July 2024 and August 2025, where the vehicle covered over 7,000 miles in just over thirteen months. This high mileage accumulation places accelerated strain on the drivetrain and suspension components, which is evidenced by the failure for exhaust emissions to exceed the default limit at 174,645 miles. A buyer must physically inspect the engine bay to determine the source of the persistent oil leak, as it has appeared in three of the last four tests. The emissions failure in August 2025 suggests potential issues with the fuel system or turbocharger, which require a professional diagnosis to prevent further degradation. Additionally, the previous failure for ineffective wipers and a stop lamp that remains on when the brakes are released in August 2024 suggests that basic electrical maintenance is only addressed when an MOT failure is imminent.
