2019 Citroen Berlingo 1.6L Diesel · LB19 GSO

A recurring pattern of front‑tyre tread approaching the legal limit, together with a once‑failed constant‑velocity (CV) boot on the off‑side front drive shaft, dominates this Berlingo’s MOT record; the most recent test on 21 July 2026 confirmed the vehicle still passes, but the tyre‑wear advisories persist. The 2024 failure was solely due to the severely deteriorated CV boot, while the other items have remained advisory, indicating no further structural or safety‑critical defects have been recorded since that episode. At 82 483 miles after just over seven years on the road the average annual accumulation sits around 11 800 miles, which aligns with typical usage for a light‑commercial van. The mileage progression shows regular testing intervals with no long gaps, suggesting the vehicle has been driven consistently rather than stored for extended periods. This level of use places normal wear expectations on consumables such as tyres, brakes and suspension components, but does not alone imply premature failure of major drivetrain parts. Prospective buyers should give particular attention to the front tyres: verify tread depth on both inner and outer edges, inspect sidewalls for cupping or damage, and feel for any vibration or pulling during a short drive that could indicate mis‑alignment or uneven wear. The CV boot that failed in 2024 should be examined for any oil leakage, cracked rubber or loosened clamps; listen for a rhythmic clicking or grinding when accelerating from a standstill, especially on uneven surfaces, which would signal joint wear. While the MOT record shows no current failure, a visual inspection of the joint and a test‑drive check for excessive play are prudent before committing. The windscreen advisory for a minor chip and the wiper performance note from the 2024 failure merit a quick visual check: ensure the chip has not propagated and that the wiper clears the glass without streaking or missed zones. The 2022 rear‑tyre nail advisory should be confirmed by inspecting the tyre for puncture or repaired patches. Overall, the vehicle’s MOT history reflects a generally roadworthy status, but the recurring tyre wear and the prior CV boot issue mean that immediate attention to these areas will be essential to maintain safe operation.
