2017 Citroen Berlingo 1.6L Diesel · YG67 AAU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive service habit. The most recent test in March 2026 at 56,776 miles passed with a minor defect regarding a non-obligatory central stop lamp. This follows a recurring pattern seen in March 2025, where the same lamp issue contributed to an initial failure. While the vehicle has passed its tests, the frequency of avoidable failures suggests the owner only addresses defects when prompted by an MOT failure. The mileage profile is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,300 miles per annum. There is a significant gap of 11,876 miles between the October 2023 test at 36,650 miles and the March 2025 test at 48,525 miles, followed by a more recent accumulation of 8,251 miles over the last fourteen months. This low annual mileage generally suggests less wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, though long periods of standing can lead to age-related degradation of rubber seals and fluid components. A buyer must inspect the braking system specifically, as the 2025 failure flagged thin rear brake pads on both sides. Given the reactive maintenance style, it is essential to verify the remaining pad thickness and check for glazed brake discs. The supplementary restraint system warning lamp that caused a failure in 2025 should be physically verified to ensure the fault was properly cleared and is not a recurring electrical issue. Additionally, check the windscreen washer system and all external lighting, as these have been repeated points of failure indicating a lack of attention to basic consumable upkeep.
