2022 Citroen Berlingo 1000 Eprise PRO Bhdi 1.5L Diesel · AV71 PVD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While passing the February 2026 test at 68,950 miles, the tester identified multiple advisories related to tyre condition and lighting. This represents a decline from the February 2025 test, where the vehicle passed with no recorded defects, suggesting that basic consumable maintenance is now being neglected until components approach legal or failure limits. The mileage profile is high for a four-year vehicle, averaging over 17,000 miles per year. Between the February 2025 and February 2026 tests, the vehicle covered 20,639 miles in just twelve months. This rapid accumulation indicates consistent heavy commercial use, which accelerates the wear rate on suspension components and braking systems. The failure in February 2025 at 48,311 miles due to thin brake pads confirms that the vehicle is under significant strain between service intervals. A buyer must focus their physical inspection on the tyres and braking assembly. The February 2026 record flagged the offside front and rear tyres as being close to the legal limit with edge wear, alongside a structural crack and a nail in the offside rear tyre. These findings suggest potential alignment issues or under-inflation habits over time. Furthermore, the previous failure on nearside rear brake pads necessitates a thorough check of the remaining pads and discs to ensure no uneven wear or caliper sticking has developed from the high-mileage usage cycles.
