2019 Citroen Berlingo 1.6L Diesel · FR19 EWE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following its most recent test on 19 June 2026 at 89,429 miles, which resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a successful inspection in June 2025 at 79,613 miles. While the vehicle has experienced intermittent issues with consumable wear in the past, the absence of advisories or failures in the last two years suggests a consistent maintenance pattern regarding essential components. The mileage accumulation indicates heavy usage for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 12,776 miles per year. The data shows a steady increase in distance covered between annual tests, specifically moving from 52,659 miles in June 2023 to 89,429 miles in June 2026. This consistent high-mileage profile suggests regular long-distance or commercial use rather than sporadic short trips, which typically accelerates the wear on suspension bushes, dampers, and drivetrain components. The MOT history highlights a recurring trend of tyre and brake wear. In May 2024, the vehicle failed due to insufficient tread depth on the nearside rear tyre and worn edges on the offside rear tyre, alongside rear inner brake pads measuring less than 1.5mm. Similar issues with tyre wear were noted in the June 2023 and June 2022 tests. These faults are characteristic of high-mileage vehicles and indicate that the previous owners addressed consumable items only when they reached legal limits. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system, specifically checking for even pad wear and any signs of binding calipers. Given the high annual mileage, the suspension system warrants close scrutiny for perished rubber components or leaking shock absorbers. While the recent clean passes are encouraging, the history of tyre edge wear suggests the vehicle should be checked for wheel alignment issues or uneven tyre degradation.
