2008 Citroen Berlingo 1.4L Petrol · LA08 AEE

The 2023‑06‑02 MOT at 75,012 miles resulted in a pass, though the tester flagged near‑side front inner tie‑rod play as an advisory, indicating that the vehicle remains roadworthy but shows signs of wear that have not been fully resolved. The mileage record shows a low annual average of about 4,167 miles over 18 years, yet the data reveal a marked acceleration after 2018, with the count climbing from 41,280 miles in 2018 to 75,012 miles by 2023, including a jump of roughly 16,330 miles between 2019 and 2021 and a further 4,125 miles in the final year. Recurring advisories such as worn suspension arm pins or bushes, power‑steering seepage, sump corrosion, ineffective wipers, pitted brake discs and perishing tyres point to ongoing wear on suspension, braking and structural components, suggesting that previous owners have not consistently addressed these items. A buyer should therefore inspect the condition of the front and rear suspension bushes and arm pins, check for binding rear brakes and the integrity of the power‑steering pump, examine the sump and chassis for rust, verify tyre tread and sidewall health, test wiper operation and brake performance, and confirm that the exhaust system is sound.
