2020 Citroen Berlingo 1.5L Diesel · CA70 VMG

The vehicle currently holds a valid roadworthiness status, but the recent maintenance history reveals a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. The test on 31 May 2025 at 77,054 miles initially failed due to multiple brake component deficiencies and defective wiper blades. While the vehicle passed the re-test on the same day, the presence of worn discs and pads across all four wheels in the record indicates that the owner waited until an MOT failure to address essential wear rather than performing scheduled maintenance. At 77,054 miles, this Citroen Berlingo averages approximately 12,800 miles per year over its six-year lifespan. This high mileage is consistent with a commercial-use profile which typically leads to accelerated wear on suspension and drivetrain components. The data shows a significant concentration of mechanical issues during the May 2025 test, and the lack of recorded entries prior to this high-mileage snapshot suggests the vehicle was subjected to heavy-duty use since its last annual inspection. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system, as the 2025 record flagged thin pads and worn discs globally. The inspector should check for uneven wear or signs of sticking calipers which often accompany such reports on high mileage vehicles. Additionally, the offside windscreen damage and wiper assembly condition should be verified to ensure the previous failure was fully rectified and not merely a temporary fix. Given the high mileage, close attention should be paid to the suspension bushes and shock absorbers for signs of excessive play or leakage that a standard MOT test might not fully capture.
