2009 Citroen Berlingo 1.6L Diesel · GL09 GNP

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, following a clean pass in its most recent test on 10 June 2025 at 32,509 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable and improving after addressing issues identified in previous years. While the vehicle suffered failures in 2023 and 2024, the subsequent passes without recorded advisories indicate that the owner proactively rectified the necessary defects to meet minimum testing standards. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,912 miles per year. Between June 2023 and June 2024, the car covered only 1,134 miles, suggesting a period of minimal use or extended storage. This low usage typically results in less mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain compared to average examples, though the long intervals between driving can lead to specific issues related to age, such as perished seals, seized brake calipers, or the degradation of rubber components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis, as low-mileage vehicles are often prone to surface corrosion if left in damp environments. The recurring failures in 2023 and 2024, despite the low mileage, suggest that specific components reached a service limit or required attention due to age rather than distance. Inspect the suspension bushes and sidewalls for cracking, and verify that the brake discs are free of heavy pitting which often occurs on vehicles that sit infrequently.
