The 2012 Citroën Berlingo 625 Enterprise HDI struggles at MOT time, with a first-time pass rate of just 63.8%—significantly below the UK average of 80%. No vehicles in this cohort recorded dangerous defects, which is reassuring, though the low pass rate suggests mechanical issues are common enough to warrant serious scrutiny before purchase.

At 122,806 miles median, these vans have genuinely high mileage for their age, yet they're averaging 0.7 failures per vehicle, indicating the failures tend to be multiple rather than isolated problems. Before committing to one, get a full pre-purchase inspection focused on the diesel engine, suspension, and braking system—the combination of heavy use and poor MOT first-time performance suggests these areas are wearing hard.

The 2012 Citroen Berlingo 625 Enterprise HDI passes its MOT first time more often than most UK vehicles (86% vs ~80% average) — and when it does fail, it's usually something minor and cheap to fix.
