2017 Citroen Berlingo 1.6L Diesel · LL17 AAK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the recent history indicates a period of significant mechanical instability. While it passed its most recent test on 17 September 2025 at 54,529 miles, this followed three consecutive failures within a four-month window. This suggests that the vehicle suffered from a series of non-compliance issues that were only addressed shortly before the final pass, indicating a trend that moved from a state of neglect or fault back to operational status. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a low-use profile, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per year. Between the April 2024 test at 37,742 miles and the May 2025 failure at 50,675 miles, the vehicle covered over 12,000 miles in thirteen months. This sudden spike in usage compared to the annual average likely correlates with the onset of the mechanical issues recorded in 2025. The overall low mileage suggests that the recent failures were likely due to specific component degradation rather than high-frequency wear and tear. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the components that caused the multiple 2025 failures, as the record provided does not specify the nature of the defects. Focus should be placed on the suspension bushes, coil springs, and braking system, which are common points of failure on the Berlingo. Given the rapid-fire failures, verify that there are no signs of structural corrosion on the chassis or exhaust system to ensure that the recent repairs were comprehensive rather than merely temporary fixes.
