2021 Citroen Berlingo 1000 EN-Prise Bluehdi 1.5L Diesel · KS21 MPZ

The vehicle is currently not roadworthy, as the latest MOT on 20 December 2025 at 85,113 miles recorded a failure due to a non‑functional near‑side front position lamp and excessive play in the near‑side front track rod end ball joint, both classified as dangerous defects under the MOT regulations. The presence of these faults after two consecutive passes in January and May 2025 demonstrates a worsening maintenance trend rather than stability. The mileage profile shows a clear acceleration of use: the odometer rose from 76,136 miles in May 2024 to 79,196 miles in January 2025 (3,060 miles in eight months) and then to 85,113 miles by December 2025 (5,917 miles in eleven months), indicating a rapid increase in annual mileage that exceeds the average of 17,000 miles per year for a five‑year‑old vehicle. The interval between the January 2025 pass and the December 2025 fail is the longest gap in the record, suggesting periods of heavy use or extended standing that have contributed to the observed wear. A buyer should therefore focus on the suspension system, specifically inspecting the track rod end ball joint for play, the condition of the front suspension bushes and coil springs, and verifying that the near‑side front brakes are not binding, as the tyre tread measurements recorded below 1.6 mm in May 2024 imply significant tyre wear that may have compromised braking performance. In addition, the lamp failures point to possible wiring or bulb degradation, and a thorough visual inspection for structural rust, particularly around the wheel arches and chassis, is advisable. Checking the condition of the brake discs, calipers, and ensuring the exhaust emissions meet the 2025 standards will complete the due‑diligence assessment.
