2009 Citroen Berlingo 1.6L Diesel · AV59 YTD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a recent decline in proactive care. While it passed its most recent MOT in July 2025 at 104,101 miles, the failure just one day prior revealed multiple safety-critical defects were neglected. The transition from a clean record in 2023 and 2024 to a multi-fault failure in 2025 suggests that the owner has deferred essential repairs until the test deadline. At 104,101 miles over 17 years, the Berlingo averages approximately 6,124 miles per year, which is consistent with a light-use older commercial vehicle. There is a significant gap in the data between December 2021 and June 2023, during which the vehicle covered nearly 10,000 miles. However, the accumulation of only 1,181 miles between June 2024 and July 2025 indicates the vehicle has recently seen very low usage levels, which can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components and seals despite the low overall odometer reading. A buyer must inspect the nearside front suspension arm, as the 2025 test flagged a worn pin or bush that remains as an advisory. The history shows a recurring pattern of poor tyre management, with low tread depths and structural failures noted in 2021 and 2025. A physical inspection should verify all four tyres for uneven wear or sidewall damage, as the previous owner consistently ignored legal limits. Additionally, the operational status of the reversing lamp and the spare tyre must be checked to ensure these were actually rectified following the July failure.
