2017 Citroen Berlingo 1.6L Diesel · MK17 KGP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on August 12, 2025, 16,039 miles. The maintenance trend shows a reactive pattern where mechanical faults are addressed immediately upon failure. The most recent technical failure occurred just one day prior due to a split offside drive shaft joint constant velocity boot, which was rectified to allow the successful re-test. This indicates the owner is responsive to safety-critical DVSA requirements. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,782 miles per year. There are significant gaps between tests, such as the 5,410 miles covered between September 2023 (5,437 miles) and August 2024 (10,847 miles). While low mileage generally suggests less wear on the engine and suspension, the long periods of inactivity between these intervals can lead to degradation of rubber components, flat spotting on tyres, and internal corrosion within the braking system. An in-person inspection should focus on the offside drive shaft to ensure the replacement boot is properly seated and free of grease leakage. Given the previous failure of the nearside dipped beamlamp in August 2024 at 10,847 miles, the buyer should verify the bulb and wiring harness for any intermittent faults. The inspector must also check the brake discs for surface pitting or seized calipers, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from brake oxidation due to lack of use.
