2011 Citroen Berlingo 1.6L Diesel · LX11 AHF

The vehicle achieved a PASS on 22 June 2026 at 196,944 miles with no defects recorded. The most recent test therefore confirms current roadworthiness. The pattern shows a general improvement: earlier years (2020‑2024) recorded multiple failures (brake discs, pads, tyres, lamps, suspension components), while the last two entries (January 2025 PASS and June 2026 PASS) are clean. The maintenance trend can be described as stabilising and moving toward compliance. Mileage accumulation has been uneven. Over roughly 15 years the car has covered 196,944 miles, averaging about 13,130 miles per year—well above the norm for a 2011 model. Between February 2024 (186,961 miles) and February 2025 (193,950 miles) the odometer advanced only 6,989 miles in 12 months, indicating a period of low utilisation. Conversely, the jump from 176,868 miles in February 2023 to 186,961 miles in February 2024 added roughly 10,000 miles in a single year. The gap between the January 2025 PASS and the June 2026 PASS spans about 19 months with just under 3,000 miles, suggesting the vehicle has been parked for extended intervals. A buyer should focus on the systems that repeatedly failed. Brake components show wear histories: front brake pads below 1.5 mm in February 2024, front and rear discs worn in 2022 and 2024, and rear brake discs significantly worn in 2022. Inspection should include measuring pad thickness, checking disc condition, and assessing pedal feel. Tyre condition is a recurring issue: rear tyre tread below 1.6 mm in 2025, multiple tyres worn to the edge or with ply exposure in 2024, and a nail puncture recorded in 2019. A visual tyre check, tread depth gauge and examination for cuts are essential. Suspension faults include a fractured near‑side front coil spring in February 2023 and excessive play in the near‑side track rod end in February 2022. A thorough ride‑height and steering play assessment is required. Lighting faults (registration plate lamp, position lamp) and a split CV joint boot in 2020 also merit close scrutiny, as does the rear exhaust heatshield which has been reported loose on several occasions. Given the high mileage, internal wear is likely. The buyer should request service records for oil changes and belt condition, and have the drivetrain inspected for excessive gear or bearing noise. A compression test on the engine and a check for exhaust gasket leaks would provide additional confidence. Overall, the recent PASS indicates the vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the history of brake, tyre and suspension issues demands a detailed pre‑purchase inspection before purchase.
