2015 Citroen Berlingo 1.6L Diesel · LA15 AHU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a clean pass in the June 2026 test at 105,397 miles. This most recent result follows a period of mechanical volatility in 2025, where the vehicle failed on significant suspension issues. The absence of defects in the latest inspection suggests that the previous failures regarding coil springs and lighting were addressed effectively. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical usage pattern for an 11-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,500 miles per year. The records show steady progression from 25,952 miles in July 2018 to the current 105,397 miles. There are no indications of long periods of inactivity or sudden, excessive mileage spikes that would suggest irregular use. Historical data reveals a recurring pattern of neglected minor consumables, particularly regarding lighting and tyres. The tester flagged inoperative registration plate lamps and stop lamps across multiple years, including 2023, 2024, and 2025. Tyre condition also appears to be a frequent issue, with several advisories for perishing or wearing close to the legal limit between 2019 and 2023. This suggests a reactive rather than proactive approach to basic maintenance by previous owners. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension components to ensure the fractured coil springs identified in April 2025 have been replaced with high-quality parts. While the June 2026 test was clear, the history of deteriorating brake hoses in 2020 and broken springs warrants a close look at the integrity of the front and rear suspension assemblies. Checking the condition of all exterior bulbs and the tread depth on all tyres is also advisable to confirm the vehicle's current maintenance standard.
