2007 Citroen Berlingo 1.6L Diesel · MM07 SWO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While the most recent test in December 2025 at 112,481 miles passed, it revealed significant deterioration in the front drive shaft boots and tyre wear. This represents a regression from the December 2024 test where the vehicle passed with no recorded defects, suggesting that mechanical issues are only being addressed once they reach a point of failure or trigger an MOT advisory. At approximately 19 years old, the recorded mileage of 112,481 miles reflects a low average of roughly 5,920 miles per year. The data shows consistent annual usage, with only about 1,744 miles covered between the December 2024 and December 2025 tests. This low mileage often implies less strain on the engine and drivetrain, but frequently leads to the degradation of rubber components due to age and lack of movement, consistent with the recurring failures of the CV boots and linkages noted in the history. A buyer must specifically inspect the front suspension and drivetrain, as the offside and nearside front drive shaft constant velocity boots have failed multiple times across 2023 and 2025. The previous failure of the anti-roll bar linkage in 2023 also indicates that suspension components may be nearing their end life. The history of an engine management light failure in both 2023 and 2024 warrants a professional diagnostic scan to ensure no intermittent sensor faults remain that were simply cleared for the test. Additionally, the uneven edge wear noted on the front tyres in late 2025 suggests a wheel alignment issue that requires attention to prevent premature tyre replacement.
