2015 Citroen Berlingo 1.6L Diesel · AR02 ABM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on 28 May 2026 at 127,318 miles. The maintenance trend shows a reactive rather than proactive approach, as the owner only addresses faults upon an MOT failure. The most recent failure occurred just ten miles prior to the pass, involving multiple lighting Faults and an offside front tyre with insufficient tread depth. While the vehicle passed its latest inspection without defects, the history of failures suggests that the owner performs the minimum work required to keep the vehicle legal. At 127,318 miles over 11 years, the Berlingo averages approximately 11,574 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a light commercial vehicle. The mileage accumulation is consistent annually, with roughly 10,500 miles covered between May 2024 and May 2025, and another 10,207 miles between May 2025 and May 2026. This steady usage suggests the vehicle is driven regularly, which helps prevent the issues associated with long periods of standing. A buyer must pay close attention to the suspension and braking systems, as rear brake pads were flagged as wearing thin in three consecutive years between 2024 and 2026. The tester also noted play in the offside track rod end ball joint in 2025, indicating that steering components are beginning to reach the end of their service life. The split offside front drive shaft boot recorded in 2024 requires a physical inspection to ensure the joint has not suffered internal damage, which would lead to a more expensive drivetrain failure. Given the recurring lighting failures across different years, a thorough check of all bulbs and wiring looms is necessary to ensure no deeper corrosion issues exist. The vehicle should also be inspected for structural rust on the underbody and exhaust, which are common for Citroens of this age. While the current record shows a clean pass, the pattern of failing minor mechanical and electrical items indicates that components are likely only replaced when they fail inspection.
