2014 Citroen Berlingo 1.6L Diesel · SN14 ADZ

The most recent MOT on 2 June 2026 recorded a failure at 309,908 mi, the primary cause being a nearside front position lamp that was not functioning. The same test also noted a non‑excessive oil leak and a deteriorated front registration plate, both of which were present on the earlier pass result for the same date. Recurring notes of worn suspension arm pins, bush wear and anti‑roll‑bar ball‑joint deterioration across the past three years indicate a gradual increase in component fatigue, suggesting the vehicle’s overall condition is trending towards worsening rather than stabilising. Mileage has risen from 42,577 mi in June 2015 to 309,908 mi in June 2026, averaging roughly 25,800 mi per year. The progression shows steady increments: 89,504 mi in August 2016, 127,157 mi in August 2017, 163,138 mi in August 2018, 200,263 mi in July 2019, 224,986 mi in August 2020, 229,755 mi in May 2021, 254,398 mi in April 2022, 300,094 mi in June 2023, 304,589 mi in May 2024, 307,656 mi in June 2025 and the current 309,908 mi. The record contains no large mileage gaps, confirming continuous use and implying consistent wear on consumables and suspension components. A prospective buyer should verify the condition of the nearside front position lamp and replace it to clear the current failure. Inspect the suspension system for play in the nearside and offside front track‑rod ends, ball joints and bushings, as repeated notes of slight play and wear suggest impending service. Examine the anti‑roll‑bar joints for excessive wear, and check the coil springs for cracks, given the 2019 fracture. Confirm the integrity of the offside front CV boot and look for any oil seepage from the engine, even though it has been classed as non‑excessive. Assess brake discs for scoring or pitting, rear exhaust mounting, and tyre tread depth, as several tests flagged tyres close to the legal limit. Finally, ensure the front registration plate and its lamp are in good condition to avoid future advisory or failure notices.
