2019 Citroen Berlingo 1.5L Diesel · FL69 JZD

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a clear shift toward reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent test in September 2025 at 110,801 miles flagged multiple defects that were not present in the previous August 2024 test. While the vehicle passed, the presence of a deteriorated offside front CV boot and four tyres reaching the legal limit indicates that components are only being addressed once they reach the point of failure. At 110,801 miles over seven years, this Berlingo has averaged approximately 15,800 miles per annum, which is significantly higher than the UK annual average. The data shows intense usage patterns between August 2024 and September 2025, where the vehicle covered 20,066 miles in just thirteen months. Conversely, the period between August 2022 and September 2023 saw a similar accumulation of 21,414 miles. This high-mileage profile explains the accelerated wear observed on suspension-related components and braking systems. A buyer must prioritize inspecting the offside front CV boot for further signs of grease leakage, as total failure will lead to catastrophic joint damage. The recurring history of thin tyres and uneven wear across 2023 and 2025 suggests potential wheel alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that require a professional check. Furthermore, the rear brake discs were noted as worn with a lip in 2025, which warrants a physical inspection for excessive thinning or surface glazing to ensure the braking system has not lost its effectiveness despite the high-mileage demands.
