2021 Citroen Berlingo 1000 EN-Prise Bluehdi 1.5L Diesel · HS21 DFA

The vehicle holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 2026-05-28 at 64,895 miles, but the maintenance trend is currently stable at best rather than improving. The most recent test began as a failure on the same day, with both headlamp aim beams set too high and a flat spare tyre. The subsequent pass was achieved on the same visit, suggesting the headlamp issue was corrected on-site and the spare tyre re-inflated or replaced. However, both front tyres remain a concern. The offside front sits directly on the 1.6 mm legal minimum, while the nearside front is at approximately 2.0 mm with visible outer edge wear. This is not a vehicle that has been presented in strong mechanical condition. The mileage progression tells a clear story of sustained high use. In the twelve months between 2024-05-14 at 31,777 miles and 2025-05-22 at 53,065 miles, the Berlingo covered roughly 21,300 miles. That annual rate is well above the typical 10,000 to 12,000-mile benchmark for a five-year-old vehicle. The current recorded figure of 64,895 miles, accumulated over approximately five years, confirms a pattern of intensive daily use, likely commercial or long-distance commuting. There are no notable gaps in the MOT record that would suggest prolonged periods off the road, and the testing has been broadly annual and consistent. The 2025-05-22 failure at 53,065 miles is the most mechanically significant entry on file. All four brake discs were flagged, with both front discs described as significantly and obviously worn and the offside rear disc similarly thin. The nearside rear disc was noted as worn, pitted, or scored. The fact that the vehicle passed its next test in May 2026 without a brake-related advisory suggests the discs and pads were replaced in the interim. Buyers should verify this work was done properly and inspect the braking system for uneven wear or binding, particularly at the rear, given the recurring rear disc wear noted across multiple tests. The tyre wear pattern is the most persistent issue. Three of the four tyres were close to the legal limit in May 2024 at just 31,777 miles, and by May 2026 both fronts are again at or near minimum depth with edge wear. Edge wear on the front axle points to tracking or suspension geometry issues, possibly worn tracking rods or deteriorated suspension bushes. A buyer should have the front suspension and steering components inspected thoroughly, paying close attention to track rod ends, wishbone bushes, and wheel alignment. The repeated tyre wear, combined with the high mileage, suggests this vehicle has worked hard and its running components deserve careful scrutiny before purchase.
