2008 Citroen Berlingo 1.6L Diesel · AV58 TZX

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT test in August 2024 with a mileage of 121,369 miles, but with several advisories. The maintenance trend appears to be worsening, with a notable increase in the number of defects recorded over the past few years. The tester flagged binding rear brakes, excessive play in the offside track rod end ball joint, and a failing offside rear brake pad, all of which suggest a decline in the vehicle's mechanical condition. The recorded mileage of 121,369 miles at the time of the 2024 test is roughly in line with the vehicle's age, with an average annual mileage of around 6,743 miles. However, there is a notable gap in the mileage record between 2022 and 2024, with a significant jump of over 18,000 miles in just two years. This suggests that the vehicle may have been driven more extensively in recent times, potentially exacerbating wear on its components. A buyer should inspect the vehicle's brakes and suspension in person, paying particular attention to the rear brakes, which have been flagged as binding and failing. The excessive play in the offside track rod end ball joint also raises concerns about the vehicle's structural integrity. Additionally, the advisories regarding the offside front fuel pipe chafing, nearside stop lamp not working, and central rear seat belt buckle not functioning as intended suggest that the vehicle may require more extensive maintenance to bring it up to a satisfactory standard.
