Is the 2015 Berlingo getting worse?

Pass rate of 2015-registered cars across recent test years:

Test year	Pass rate
2023	70.7% -9.9 vs same-age
2024	68.3% -10.2 vs same-age
2025	66.8% -10.2 vs same-age

The raw rate normally falls as cars age. The “vs same-age” figure compares this cohort with all UK cars registered in the same year, so normal ageing is not mistaken for a bad model year.

FAQs

Is a 2015 Citroen Berlingo reliable?

2015-registered examples passed 68.6% of their MOT tests (45,048 tests, 2023–2025), -10.1 points versus all UK cars registered in the same year. At roughly 11 years old with a median 90,178 miles, condition now varies car by car — always check the individual MOT history.

What mileage is too high for a 2015 Berlingo?

The median tested example shows 90,178 miles. Anything far beyond that isn't automatically bad — a motorway-mile car with consistent service records often beats a low-mileage school-run car — but price accordingly and scrutinise the mileage trail for gaps or drops.
