2021 Citroen Berlingo 1000 EN-Prise Bluehdi 1.5L Diesel · MH21 DFP

The most recent MOT on 2025-08-13 shows a fail due to the windscreen wiper not clearing the windscreen effectively, a minor but safety-relevant issue. This is the only defect recorded in the latest test, and the vehicle was passed on the same date, suggesting the wiper may have been repaired or replaced before the pass. However, the dual entries for the same date (fail and pass) are unusual and could indicate a data error or a retest. A prior fail on 2024-08-20 revealed serious brake-related issues : fluctuating offside rear service brakes, pitted or scored brake discs (both nearside and offside), and brake pads below 1.5 mm thickness. These defects were not repeated in the 2025 MOT, but the absence of follow-up checks makes it unclear if repairs were fully addressed. The 2024 failures indicate significant wear on braking components , which are critical for safety. The vehicle’s mileage of 32,089 miles (about 6,418 miles per year) aligns with typical usage for a 5-year-old car. This suggests no extreme wear from high mileage, but the 2024 brake issues imply localized stress or neglect in the rear braking system. The 2025 wiper failure adds a separate, less critical concern but highlights potential maintenance gaps. The trend shows no clear worsening of major issues, as the 2025 MOT had fewer defects than 2024.
