2021 Citroen Berlingo 1.5L Diesel · CF70 FXS

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than preventative care. While the most recent test in December 2025 at 65,698 miles resulted in a pass, it revealed multiple advisories across three tyres. The presence of tyres worn to the 2mm limit with uneven wear on the edges indicates that the previous owner neglected basic consumable replacements until they reached the point of legal failure. The vehicle has covered 65,698 miles over approximately five years, averaging roughly 13,000 miles per annum. This mileage profile is consistent with commercial or heavy use, which accelerates the wear on suspension components and drivetrain parts. Between the January 2024 test and the December 2025 test, the vehicle clocked 15,260 miles in under eleven months. This rapid accumulation confirms high annual usage, which explains the accelerated degradation noted in the latest inspection. The record highlights a failure in January 2024 at 50,438 miles due to a compromised nearside front lower suspension arm ball joint dust cover. Although this was rectified to achieve a pass, a buyer should physically inspect the remaining suspension geometry for signs of perished rubber boots or play. The uneven inner edge wear on the offside front tyre from the 2025 test suggests an alignment issue or worn tracking component that remains unaddressed, risking premature failure of new tyres.
