2012 CITROEN BERLINGO1.6L Diesel

The 2022‑06‑10 MOT at 216,965 miles recorded a pass, showing a stable maintenance trend with no defects reported since the 2018 failures. The mileage has risen from 112,191 miles in November 2015 to 216,965 miles in June 2022, an average of roughly 15,500 miles per year, with several periods of rapid accumulation such as the 34,945‑mile increase between December 2016 and December 2017 and the 10,723‑mile jump over four days in May 2018, indicating heavy use and irregular usage patterns. Recurring issues include severe deterioration of the front suspension arm ball joint dust covers, split constant‑velocity joint boots, and tyre tread depths falling below the 1.6 mm legal limit in multiple earlier tests; these suggest wear on suspension components, CV joints and tyres that a buyer should verify during a physical inspection. A buyer should therefore examine the condition of the front suspension arms, ball joints and dust covers, check the integrity of the CV joint boots for splits, measure tyre tread depth, inspect the braking system for binding calipers or worn discs, and look for any signs of structural rust or corrosion, especially on the chassis and wheel arches.
