2010 Citroen Berlingo 1.6L Diesel · MA10 FDG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a worsening condition regarding suspension components. While it passed its most recent test on June 5, 2026 at 176,279 miles, the record reveals a persistent degradation of the front end geometry. The wear on the lower suspension arm bushes noted in June 2025 has progressed by the 2026 test, which now flagged both nearside and offside front suspension arm bushes alongside a severely deteriorated offside front outer ball joint dust cover. The mileage pattern is consistent with a well-used commercial vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 11,000 miles per year. The data shows steady usage with 3,462 miles covered between June 2024 and June 2025, and another 4,095 miles covered between June 2025 and June 2026. This regularity suggests the vehicle is used consistently rather than sitting for long periods, which generally helps maintain seal integrity but accelerates the inevitable wear of rubber-based mechanical components seen in the history. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension, as the recurring failures of bushes and ball joints indicate the assembly is nearing the end of its service life. The oil leak identified in the June 2026 test requires close monitoring to determine if it is a minor seep or an active seal failure. Additionally, the history of engine management light failures and high exhaust emissions in 2024 and 2025 suggests intermittent electronic issues or potential sensor faults that should be verified with a diagnostic tool to ensure the underlying cause was fully resolved.
