2013 Citroen Berlingo 1.6L Diesel · BK63 PXT

A pattern of deteriorating rubber components and recurring lighting faults defines the recent roadworthiness history of this vehicle. The progression of the offside front outer drive shaft joint constant velocity boot from a weeping minor advisory in 2024 to a major failure in 2025 indicates a clear trend of wear in the drivetrain seals. While the vehicle achieved a pass on 16 October 2025, the record shows a reliance on immediate repairs to address failing dust covers and boots, alongside a persistent advisory regarding noisy steering. With 84,214 miles recorded over thirteen years, the vehicle has averaged approximately 6,478 miles per year. This usage pattern is typical for its age, suggesting a consistent application of the vehicle rather than prolonged periods of inactivity or excessive heavy-duty use. Mechanically, this mileage level typically correlates with the expected wear of suspension bushings and drivetrain consumables, as evidenced by the recent failures of the anti-roll bar linkage and CV boot. Attention must be paid to the steering system during a physical inspection and test drive, specifically to investigate the noisy steering advisory noted in the October 2025 test. Listen for any grinding, whining, or clicking sounds when turning the wheel from lock to lock while stationary and at low speeds. Given the recent failure and subsequent repair of the offside front CV boot and the nearside front anti-roll bar linkage, the buyer should check for any remaining grease leakage around the drive shafts or abnormal knocking sounds when driving over uneven surfaces or speed bumps. The lighting system has been a recurring point of failure and advisory, specifically regarding the registration plate lamps and the intensity of the front position lamps. Ensure all external lighting is functioning at full brightness and that no bulbs are dim or flickering. A thorough check of the front lighting assembly is necessary to confirm that the reduced light intensity flagged in the most recent tests has been fully rectified rather than merely noted.
