2009 Citroen Berlingo 1.6L Diesel · YF58 AAY

The 2009 Citroen Berlingo presents a stable roadworthiness profile, with the most recent MOT on 2022-11-15 at 127,082 miles recording a pass. However, a prior test on 2022-11-14 at 127,078 miles showed a failure with no defects listed, raising questions about the accuracy of the record. Subsequent tests from 2019 to 2021 consistently passed without defects, indicating no emerging mechanical issues. The vehicle’s maintenance history lacks recurring faults, suggesting routine upkeep but no critical systemic problems. The mileage of 127,082 miles over 17 years equates to approximately 7,475 miles annually, aligning with typical usage for its age. MOT tests occur annually, with no significant gaps or spikes in mileage accumulation. The 2022 tests, separated by just one day, may reflect administrative error, but the absence of defects in prior years implies no urgent concerns. The clean record through 2021 suggests the vehicle was maintained to standard, though the unexplained failure in late 2022 warrants scrutiny. A buyer should verify the vehicle’s suspension components, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, which can degrade over time without immediate MOT failures. Brake systems, including calipers and discs, should be inspected for wear, as minor issues might not trigger alerts. Structural integrity remains unaddressed in the record, so a physical check for corrosion or panel damage is advisable. While the MOT history shows no major faults, the 2022 failure without explanation underscores the need for a thorough pre-purchase inspection.
