This 2018 Berlingo diesel clears the MOT hurdle more reliably than most UK vehicles, posting an 84.5% first-time pass rate against the 80% national average—a solid 4.5 percentage point margin that suggests good build quality. The complete absence of dangerous defects across 548 vehicles is genuinely reassuring for a van of this age and mileage.

At nearly 83,000 miles, these Berlingos are running typically for their age, and the 0.29 average failures per vehicle indicates minor wear rather than systemic problems. There are virtually no advisory notices on the record, which means when something does fail, it tends to be a proper fault rather than a looming concern—check for suspension and brake wear during your inspection, as these are common diesel van issues, but overall this is a straightforward, trustworthy workhorse.

The 2018 Citroen Berlingo 625 En Prise Bluehdi passes its MOT first time more often than most UK vehicles (92.6% vs ~80% average) — and when it does fail, it's usually something minor and cheap to fix.
