2022 Citroen Berlingo 1000 Eprise PRO Bhdi 1.5L Diesel · LO71 SNZ

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness is currently rated as acceptable, but the maintenance history exhibits a clear deteriorating trend relative to the most recent test in the September 2023 test at 52,000 miles. The tester flagged binding rear brakes, which has been a recurring issue since the 2025-12-08 test where the rear brake disc was significantly worn and the pad was less than 1.5 mm thick. This indicates that basic upkeep was skipped, as the failure of the rear brake system suggests a lack of regular servicing and a progressive loss of structural integrity. The mileage pattern is characterized by rapid accumulation during the 2025-12-08 test, which occurred at 115,415 miles, followed by a gap at 88,380 miles in the 2024-12-13 test. This gap suggests that the vehicle's use has been inconsistent or that the owner has been unable to maintain the required distance between major maintenance checks, leading to accelerated wear on components such as the suspension and drivetrain. The lack of clear mileage data between the two most recent tests raises questions about whether the owner has been diligent in monitoring wear or if the vehicle is being driven under conditions that would accelerate these specific failures. Given the recurring faults, particularly the binding rear brakes and the structural integrity risks associated with the worn brake discs, a buyer should inspect the vehicle in person to verify the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and binding calipers. The presence of structural issues like corrosion and the clearly worn brake components necessitates a thorough visual inspection of the exhaust emissions, the windscreen, and the registration plate lamps. The buyer must also confirm that the windscreen wiper is functional, as the current record indicates it does not clear the windscreen effectively, which could lead to dangerous glare and reduced visibility.
