2021 Citroen Berlingo 1000 EN-Prise Bluehdi 1.5L Diesel · CF21 OTX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the most recent MOT indicates a shift toward reactive rather than proactive maintenance. While it passed on March 5, 2026 at 59,431 miles, it failed the test just one day prior for several minor but avoidable defects. The trend shows a transition from perfectly clean records in 2024 and 2025 to a state where basic consumable items and adjustments are being neglected. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 12,000 miles per annum. The record progressed from 30,303 miles in August 2024 to 47,052 miles by March 2025, followed by another 12,379 miles by early 2026. This steady usage suggests the vehicle has been used regularly, which is generally beneficial for engine seals and mechanical components, though it places standard wear and tear demands on the suspension and braking system. A buyer must personally inspect the nearside rear tyre specifically, as the March 2026 failure flagged it for uneven wear, distortion, and flat spots. These symptoms often point to an alignment issue or a failing shock absorber rather than simple agerelated wear. The previous failure regarding the headlamp aim and insufficient washer fluid suggests the owner may not perform thorough pre-test checks. Close attention should be paid to the remaining tyres for similar uneven wear and the washer system should be checked for leaks to prevent future failures.
