2017 Citroen Berlingo 1.6L Diesel · PJ67 AAV

The 2025‑11‑29 MOT at 113,595 miles passed, yet the vehicle bears several serious advisories, indicating a worsening maintenance trend. The off‑side front drive‑shaft CV joint boot and anti‑roll bar ball‑joint dust cover are severely deteriorated, the rear coil springs are corroded, and the sub‑frame shows corrosion, while the front oil leak and tyre wear are noted but not excessive, confirming that remedial work is required for safe roadworthiness. The mileage has risen steeply over the past three years: from 105,727 miles in November 2023 to 111,003 miles in November 2024 (5,276‑mile increase) and then to 113,595 miles in November 2025 (2,592‑mile increase), representing an average annual addition of over 12,600 miles, well above the 12,622‑mile per year average for a nine‑year‑old vehicle. Earlier periods show larger jumps, such as the 16,868‑mile increase from 2022 to 2023 and a 17,130‑mile rise from 2021 to 2022, suggesting intermittent high‑usage intervals. A buyer should therefore inspect the front anti‑roll bar ball joint and its dust cover for play, examine the CV joint boots for tears, assess the condition of the rear coil springs and sub‑frame for structural rust, verify that the front oil leak is not worsening, and check the tyre wear patterns for signs of alignment or suspension mis‑adjustment; particular attention to the condition of the brakes, suspension bushes and any binding calipers is essential given the recurring defects.
