2022 Citroen Berlingo 1000 Eprise PRO Bhdi 1.5L Diesel · DN71 HSE

This 2022 Citroen Berlingo holds a valid MOT issued on 28 August 2025 at 77,820 miles, yet the record reveals a pattern of deferred maintenance rather than careful preventative upkeep. The most recent test passed with multiple minor advisories, including a non-functioning nearside rear registration plate lamp and all four tyres worn close to the legal limit. A nail was also found in the nearside rear tyre. These are not catastrophic failures, but their simultaneous presence at a single test suggests routine walkaround checks were not being performed between MOT intervals. The trend is not worsening in a structural sense, but it is certainly not improving. The vehicle is being run hard and corrected only when legally required. The mileage accumulation is notably high for a four-year-old light commercial vehicle. Between the failed and passed tests on 8 April 2025 at 72,499 miles and the August 2025 pass at 77,820 miles, the van covered 5,321 miles in under five months. Annualised, this sits well above the typical 12,000 to 15,000-mile benchmark for a vehicle of this class. The accelerated wear on all four tyres across both 2025 tests is consistent with sustained high-mileage use, likely involving motorway running or heavy payloads. No significant mileage gaps appear in the record, meaning the vehicle has been in continuous service rather than sitting idle. The recurring tyre wear advisories across both 2025 tests, including a nail puncture in the nearside rear on two separate occasions, point to either poor tyre condition monitoring or repeated use of substandard replacement rubber. Buyers should inspect all four tyres for uneven wear patterns, particularly edge wear on the fronts, which can indicate tracking or suspension bush degradation. The deteriorated offside front outer CV boot flagged in April 2025 was rectified before the pass, but the joint itself should be checked for play or clicking under load, as a neglected split boot often leads to premature joint failure. Beyond the MOT items, the high-mileage profile demands a thorough inspection of the braking system, suspension components including drop links and rear beam bushes, and the exhaust system for corrosion. Commercial variants of the Berlingo are prone to rear subframe and mounting point corrosion under sustained load, so a physical underbody inspection is essential before purchase.
