2010 Citroen Berlingo 1.6L Diesel · GX10 CYA

The most recent MOT on 2025-08-07 showed the vehicle passed with minor issues: an oil leak (not excessive) and worn suspension bushes on both front nearside and offside lower arms. These same defects were recorded in earlier MOTs, indicating a persistent but non-critical condition. The prior MOT on 2025-08-06 failed due to a non-functional horn, headlight aim misalignment, and an oil leak. The horn failure is a new issue not previously noted, while headlight problems and suspension wear have recurred over multiple years. Recurring defects include oil leaks (8.4.1 (a) (i)) and worn suspension bushes (5.3.4 (a) (i)), which suggest aging components but no immediate safety risk. Headlight lens defects (4.1.1 (b) (i)) and aim issues (4.1.2 (c)) have also appeared repeatedly, potentially affecting visibility. The horn failure in the latest MOT is a standalone issue but requires attention. Overall, the pattern shows consistent minor defects rather than escalating problems, though the horn failure introduces a new concern. The vehicle’s mileage of 73,526 miles over 16 years equates to roughly 4,595 miles annually, which is low for its age. This could indicate light use or periods of inactivity, which may lead to dry seals, degraded fluids, or stagnant components.
