2020 Citroen Berlingo 1.5L Diesel · CE20 VFS

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates a pattern of reactive rather than preventative care. Following a significant failure in February 2023, the vehicle has passed three consecutive tests, yet the trend shows recurring brake issues. The most recent test in January 2026 at 63,933 miles again flagged worn and scored front brake discs. This suggests that while the vehicle is legally on the road, braking components are reaching the end of their service life and require ongoing attention. The mileage profile is consistent with a six-year-old van, averaging approximately 10,600 miles per year. The vehicle progressed from 41,506 miles in early 2023 to 63,933 miles by January 2026, representing a steady usage pattern of roughly 7,500 miles per year during that period. This consistent accumulation suggests the vehicle has not sat stationary for long periods, but the gap between the 2023 failure and subsequent passes indicates components are being run until failure between MOT intervals. A buyer should focus specifically on the braking system during a physical inspection. The February 2023 failure revealed critically thin front pads, seriously weakened rear discs, and heavy corrosion that prevented a performance test. Given that the 2025 and 2026 tests both flagged pitted and scored discs on opposite axles, the calipers may be sticking or failing to clear debris effectively. Inspect the front tyres for uneven wear across the edges, as the 2023 record noted both front tyres were worn to the legal limit, which can indicate alignment issues or worn suspension bushes.
