2015 Citroen Berlingo 1.6L Diesel · CA64 MYW

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following recent remedial work. The most recent test on 29 September 2025 at 99,125 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a failure three days prior on 26 September 2025 at 98,980 miles, where the tester flagged exposed tyre cords on the offside front inner tyre, insufficient tread depth on the nearside front, and perished anti-roll bar ball joint dust covers. The successful retest indicates that the owner addressed these specific consumable and suspension component issues promptly. The mileage accumulation remains consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per year. The record shows a steady increase from 80,100 miles in September 2023 to 99,125 miles in September 2025. This predictable usage pattern suggests the vehicle has not been subject to extreme long-term stationary periods or excessive commercial heavy-duty running, which helps mitigate the risk of sudden mechanical fatigue or neglected deterioration. A buyer should focus physical inspections on the braking system and suspension geometry. The MOT history shows a recurring trend of binding rear brakes, first noted as a minor issue in September 2023 and escalating to an excessive binding failure on both rear brakes in September 2024. While the 2025 record is clean, the history of binding calipers and worn brake pads suggests the braking hardware may be prone to seizing or uneven wear. Additionally, the repeated mentions of tyres wearing on the inner edges in both 2024 and 2025 indicate a potential ongoing issue with wheel alignment or suspension bush wear. The failure in September 2024 regarding a missing central front seat belt and an ineffective fuel cap suggests a period of inconsistent maintenance regarding minor safety and sealing components. Although these specific items were cleared, the presence of multiple tyre and suspension dust cover faults in the 2025 failure indicates that basic upkeep of consumables and rubber components is an area of intermittent neglect. A thorough check of the anti-roll bar joints and tyre wear patterns is recommended to ensure the suspension remains within specification.
