Our Verdict
A practical choice for those needing a v
Carefully review the service history to ensure oil and filter changes were performed on schedule, as the MOT record only shows repairs made to pass tests. Negotiate based on the age of the tyres and the recent suspension work, ensuring all parts replaced in September 2025 were of quality.
Check for any evidence of ongoing suspension play or CV boot wear. Given the frequency of wear-and-tear failures in the MOT history, a pre-purchase inspection by a mechanic is recommended to ensure no other components are nearing the end of their life.
The 1.5L Euro 6 diesel engine is designed for efficiency, making it suitable for urban and motorway use while remaining ULEZ compliant. Expect moderate insurance costs and a tax bracket typical for this engine size.
Annual costs including fuel, tax, and maintenance are estimated at £1,200-£1,600 depending on annual mileage. Maintenance costs may be higher if the pattern of reactive repairs continues.
Focus on the suspension and steering; the 2025 failure for a lower suspension arm ball joint and the 2024 failure for an anti-roll bar linkage suggest these are areas of wear. Inspect all tyres closely, as they have been a recurring MOT issue in 2024 and 2025, including a cut in the rear tyre noted in September 2025.
Additionally, check the CV boots and brake discs, which were flagged as worn or split in September 2024. Verify that the headlamp aim issue from 2024 has been permanently resolved.
This beige 2019 Citroen Berlingo has covered 79,962 miles as of September 2025. Its MOT record shows several failures across 2024 and 2025, primarily concerning tyres, brakes, and suspension components. While it currently holds a pass, the history suggests a reactive approach to maintenance.
No aggregate data available for the Citroen Berlingo, but this specific vehicle's record shows frequent wear-and-tear failures.
