2006 CITROEN BERLINGO1.4L Petrol

The 2006 Citroen Berlingo shows a history of low-mileage use interrupted by patterns of deferred maintenance. The most recent MOT test on October 31, 2025 at 65,458 miles passed with no defects, following a failure earlier that same day for incorrect indicator colours, a failed nearside rear lamp, and insecure engine wiring. While the vehicle currently meets roadworthiness standards, the recurring nature of electrical failures suggests an owner who only addresses faults when necessitated by the tester rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. The vehicle has covered 65,458 miles over 20 years, averaging roughly 3,200 miles per year. This low usage often leads to age-related degradation rather than mechanical wear. This is evident in the November 2022 test at 53,278 miles, where the tester flagged tyres that were over 16 years old and badly perished, despite having sufficient tread. The record shows a persistent engine oil leak since at least 2021, which, while described as not excessive, indicates a long-term weeping of seals or gaskets that requires monitoring fluid levels. Mechanical concerns have focused on the suspension and braking systems. In 2024 at 61,458 miles, an offside front anti-roll bar linkage was found to be excessively worn. The 2023 test at 56,658 miles highlighted corrosion on the rear brake hose ferrules, a minor exhaust leak, and seepage from a power steering component. While these appear to have been addressed in subsequent tests, the buyer should inspect the current state of the bushes and the integrity of the rubber components, as these are prone to cracking and failure on older vehicles with low mileage.
