2019 Citroen Berlingo 1.5L Diesel · LG69 WMY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent test conducted in August 2025 at 35,296 miles showed a pass despite a severely deteriorated offside front outer driveshaft boot and a nearside rear tyre reaching the legal limit. While the vehicle passed, the recurrence of consumable issues suggests that components are only addressed once they reach a point of failure or legal jeopardy during inspection. At seven years old, the recorded mileage of 35,296 miles represents an average usage of approximately 5,042 miles per year. This low mileage typically suggests less wear on the drivetrain and engine, yet the intervals between tests show inconsistent usage. Between January 2023 and August 2024, the vehicle covered over 10,000 miles, whereas the subsequent year saw an increase of only 5,000 miles. Such low annual mileage can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber components and brake corrosion if the vehicle sits for extended periods. A buyer should personally inspect the offside front driveshaft to ensure the grease has not escaped due to the deteriorated boot, which would lead to imminent CV joint failure. The 2024 test noted pitted and scored front brake discs at 30,244 miles, indicating potential surface rust or glazing consistent with low-frequency use. Given the history of all four tyres being worn to the limit in 2023 and another failure in 2025, the current tyre tread depth and alignment must be verified to ensure uneven wear is not developing.
