2014 Citroen Berlingo Multispace 1.6L Diesel · YX64 AAU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive repairs rather than preventative upkeep. The most recent test on 16 July 2026 at 43,182 miles revealed several developing issues including worn front suspension arm bushes, a corroded front coil spring, and a gearbox oil leak. While the vehicle passed after an initial failure for a stop lamp and tyre wear, the accumulation of mechanical and structural defects suggests that components are beginning to fail despite the low mileage. At 43,182 miles, this 2014 vehicle has exceptionally low mileage, averaging approximately 3,600 miles per year. This low usage pattern explains the recurring age-related degradation noted in the record. For instance, the 2022 test at 22,678 miles flagged perishing tyres and cracking, which are common symptoms of vehicles that sit for long periods. There is also a significant gap in records between 2020 and 2021 where the vehicle covered only 500 miles, likely contributing to the deterioration of rubber components and brake surfaces. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the gearbox, as the non-excessive oil leak has been a persistent feature since 2021 and remains an unresolved mechanical concern. The front suspension requires close attention; the tester recently identified wear in the arm pins and a corroded coil spring which could eventually lead to structural failure. Given the history of modifications for wheelchair access noted in 2018 and 2019, the structural integrity of the rear floor and mounting points should also be verified to ensure no hidden corrosion has resulted from the previous alterations.
