2020 Citroen Berlingo 1.5L Diesel · BP69 WNM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a worsening trend regarding braking components. While it passed the most recent test in April 2026 at 32,552 miles, it suffered a failure just two miles prior. The tester identified significant and obvious wear on both front and rear brake discs, along with a defective offside front windscreen wiper. This failure indicates that the previous owner deferred essential repairs until components reached a critical state rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is notably low for a 2020 vehicle, averaging approximately 5,425 miles per year over its six-year life. The data shows consistent annual usage, moving from 15,450 miles in January 2023 to 32,552 miles by April 2026. However, the low mileage appears to correlate with age-related degradation. Recurring advisories from 2023, 2024, and 2025 specifically highlight tyres cracking and perishing, which suggests the vehicle sits for long periods, allowing rubber to dry out. A buyer must inspect the braking system to ensure the discs flagged in the April 2026 failure were actually replaced with high-quality parts. Given the history of pitted and scored discs across multiple years, a physical check of rotors for uneven wear or sticking calipers is necessary. Additionally, the persistent reports of perished tyre sidewalls suggest the current set may be nearing the end of their structural life regardless of tread depth. Verify the wiper blade assembly to ensure the recent failure was properly rectified.
