2013 Citroen Berlingo 1.6L Diesel · MM62 AHZ

The Berlingo holds a clean pass from the July 2026 test at 104,758 miles, showing no defects or advisories. This marks a clear improvement over the 2024 and 2025 cycles where failures and advisories clustered around suspension arm rear bushes, rear brake disc corrosion and a fractured nearside front coil spring. The maintenance trend has shifted from recurring structural and braking wear to a currently clean bill of health, though the history flags components that demand verification. Annual mileage has averaged roughly 8,000 miles since new, consistent with light commercial use. However, the jump from 91,658 miles in July 2025 to 104,758 miles in July 2026 represents a sharp increase to over 13,000 miles in the last year. Earlier gaps show steady accumulation, with the vehicle covering 73,045 miles by October 2022 and 66,091 miles by October 2021. No unexplained gaps appear in the record; the sequence runs annually without interruption. Recurring advisories on both front suspension arm rear bushes since 2023 indicate persistent wear that has not yet required replacement but will likely need attention soon. The 2024 failure for a fractured nearside front coil spring confirms the suspension has seen significant stress; the replacement spring and any associated top mounts should be inspected for quality. Rear brake discs have been cited as worn, pitted or scored in both 2024 tests, suggesting corrosion from infrequent heavy braking or age. Lighting faults, particularly registration plate lamps and stop lamps, appear repeatedly across multiple years, pointing to neglected bulb maintenance or wiring issues. A buyer should prioritise a thorough underbonnet and underbody inspection. Check the front suspension arm rear bushes for excessive play, verify the nearside front coil spring is seated correctly and free of corrosion, and measure rear brake disc thickness and surface condition. Confirm all exterior lamps operate correctly, especially the registration plate and stop lamps. The recent high mileage spike warrants a close look at the clutch, gearbox oil condition and driveshaft boots, the latter having failed on the offside front in 2021.
