2015 Citroen Berlingo 1.6L Diesel · MR05 APS

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness is currently in poor standing, with a definitive failing status recorded on 2025-12-09 at 88,744 miles. This is the most recent MOT test, and the failure indicates a critical mechanical integrity issue that has not been resolved, rendering the car unfit for normal driving. The test results reveal a complex history of failures spanning multiple components, with the most severe issues occurring in the rear suspension and braking systems, specifically involving coil springs, brake pads, and wheel bearings. The maintenance trend appears to be deteriorating, as the vehicle failed twice on the same test in 2025 and 2024, suggesting a lack of consistent upkeep or a pattern of neglect. The mileage profile indicates a significant accumulation of wear over approximately eleven years, averaging roughly 8,068 miles per year. While the initial test shows 88,744 miles, the subsequent tests show a sharp decline in recorded mileage, falling from 88,744 to 73,813 in December 2024, and then dropping further to 58,593 in December 2023. This rapid drop suggests that the vehicle has experienced a severe drop-off in performance or consumption, likely due to accumulated wear on the drivetrain and suspension components that are not being adequately maintained or replaced. The test results confirm that the vehicle has not been maintained to a standard that would allow for safe operation, with the most recent test failing due to brake disc wear and structural defects. Given the recurring faults in the rear suspension, brake discs, and wheel bearings, a buyer must inspect the vehicle in person to assess structural integrity and the condition of critical components. The history of coil spring corrosion and worn bushings indicates that the suspension system is in a state of disrepair and may require immediate replacement. The brake pad wear pattern and disc scoring suggest that the braking system is compromised and may need to be serviced or replaced to prevent further failure. The tyre wear pattern, particularly the exposure of ply or cords in the front tyres, also indicates that the tyres are likely suffering from excessive wear and need to be inspected for tread depth and condition. A thorough inspection is required to determine if the issues are due to consumable wear (such as worn bushings or damaged springs) or serious structural/mechanical risks that require professional intervention.
