2019 Citroen Berlingo 1.6L Diesel · AR19 AYW

The vehicle currently presents in a roadworthy state, having passed its most recent MOT on 12 September 2025 at 50,053 miles with zero defects recorded. This represents an improving trend following a period of reactive maintenance. While the vehicle previously struggled with multiple failures, the lack of advisories or defects in the latest test suggests that the current owner has addressed the outstanding mechanical and electrical issues identified previously. The mileage pattern is consistent with a light-use vehicle, averaging approximately 7,150 miles per year over its seven-year life. There is a significant gap of 16,523 miles between the July 2024 and September 2025 tests, indicating a period of higher usage compared to the 2,587-mile interval between the 2023 and 2024 tests. Despite the low overall mileage, the record shows that components have reached the end of their life cycles at failure points rather than being replaced on preventative intervals. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and drivetrain, as these areas showed recurring patterns of neglect. The front brake pads were flagged as wearing thin in August 2023 and reached a critical failure state of under 1.5mm by July 2024. Additionally, the offside front drive shaft CV boot was split in 2023, which often leads to premature joint failure if not replaced immediately. Inspect the area for grease leakage around the wheel hubs and any play in the steering geometry. Electrical reliability also warrants scrutiny due to the history of failing headlamps, registration plate lamps, and the tyre pressure monitoring system across the 2023 and 2024 tests. Although these were cleared in the 2025 test, the frequency of these faults suggests potential intermittent wiring or bulb housing issues. Ensure the seat belt buckle, which failed in 2023, functions securely now as this is a primary safety component.
