2013 Citroen Berlingo 1.6L Diesel · EA63 NFZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While the most recent test in November 2025 at 78,867 miles passed, it followed a significant failure just one mile prior. That failure identified multiple critical issues, including fractured front coil springs and failed lighting and tyre components. Although these immediate faults were rectified, the subsequent pass left advisories for worn suspension arm bushes and multiple tyres indicating that the vehicle is entering a phase where component replacement is imminent. At 78,867 miles over 13 years, the Berlingo averages approximately 6,000 miles per year, which is consistent with typical light-use commercial patterns. The data shows a steady progression of roughly 12,000 miles between the December 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 11,800 miles recorded by late 2025. This consistent mileage suggests the vehicle is used regularly, though the recurring failures of rubber components and metal springs point to age-related degradation rather than low mileage neglect. A buyer must conduct a close physical inspection of the front suspension, as the record shows persistent worn arm bushes and previously fractured springs. The 2024 advisory regarding fluctuating front service brakes suggests thin or warped brake discs, which should be checked for thickness and surface quality during a test drive. Given that the 2025 advisories flagged three tyres near the legal limit with uneven edge wear, a full set of new rubber is likely required to ensure the vehicle is safe for long-term use. Verify that all registration lamp repairs from the previous failure have been completed to a professional standard.
