2011 Citroen Berlingo 1.6L Diesel · WP61 DTO

The most recent test on 19 March 2026 at 173,805 miles resulted in a failure, yet the record explicitly shows no defects recorded. This anomaly suggests an aborted or incomplete test rather than a mechanical breakdown. Prior to this, the maintenance trend appears stable, with the vehicle passing its MOT in March 2025 at 156,503 miles and March 2024 at 148,237 miles without any advisories or defects. The recurring pattern of failing and passing on consecutive days or the same day, all with zero defects, points to administrative or procedural issues rather than a worsening mechanical condition. At fifteen years old with 173,805 miles recorded, the Berlingo averages roughly 11,587 miles per year, which sits squarely within typical usage parameters. The mileage accumulation between tests remains consistent. Between March 2024 and March 2025, the van covered 8,266 miles, and from March 2025 to the March 2026 test, it added 17,302 miles. This indicates a notable increase in recent usage, though the data set remains relatively sparse with no recorded gaps in testing history. Since the MOT record contains zero defects or advisories across multiple tests, the history offers no specific recurring mechanical faults to target. However, the 173,805-mile odometer reading demands a thorough physical inspection of high-wear components. A buyer must closely examine the structural integrity of the chassis and suspension mounts for corrosion, a common issue on older Berlingos. The braking system requires scrutiny for binding calipers and worn discs, while the suspension bushes and coil springs should be checked for deterioration. Given the recent spike in mileage, verifying the condition of the clutch, drivetrain, and exhaust emissions system remains essential before purchase.
