2014 Citroen Berlingo 1.6L Diesel · FL14 NTD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a passing MOT on March 12, 2026. The maintenance trend appears stable, although the most recent test initially resulted in a failure due to a split offside front outer drive shaft constant velocity boot. This mechanical fault was rectified immediately to allow for a pass with no further defects recorded, suggesting that the owner is responsive to safety-critical repairs once they are identified by the testing centre. At 53,901 miles, this twelve-year-old Berlingo averages approximately 4,500 miles per year, which is significantly below the average for a commercial vehicle. The data shows consistent low-mileage with only 1,046 miles recorded between March 2025 and March 2026. While this low mileage typically indicates less wear on the engine and drivetrain, such short-distance driving can sometimes lead to accelerated degradation of rubber components and corrosion on braking surfaces due to a lack of heat-generating use. A buyer should pay close attention to the front braking system, as the record flags worn front brake discs across three consecutive annual tests in 2023, 2024, and 2025. While these were noted as not excessively worn at the time, the recurring advisory suggests the discs are reaching the end of their service life. The physical inspection should also verify the offside front drive shaft area to ensure the replacement boot is secure and free of grease leakage. Given the low mileage and age, checking for surface corrosion on the suspension components and the exhaust system is vital, as these parts often suffer more from time than from mechanical mileage.
