2019 Citroen Berlingo 1.6L Diesel · MW19 DVL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach. While it passed the test on 14 May 2026 at 87,897 miles, it failed just one day prior with multiple major and minor defects. The tester flagged inoperative lighting, a failed windscreen washer, and a malfunctioning tyre pressure monitoring system, alongside two front tyres below the legal limit. This suggests the previous owner only addresses faults when forced by an MOT failure rather than performing preventative maintenance. The vehicle has covered 87,897 miles over seven years, averaging approximately 12,500 miles per year. This usage is consistent with a commercial vehicle profile but places accelerated wear on mechanical components. There is a notable jump in mileage between the May 2024 test at 58,464 miles and the May 2025 test at 73,165 miles, representing nearly 15,000 miles in a single year. However, the vehicle covered another 14,732 miles between May 2025 and May 2026, showing consistent high-mileage usage that stresses the drivetrain and suspension. A buyer should focus the physical inspection on the suspension assembly. The 2024 record noted a worn nearside front suspension bush, and the 2025 test identified both rear shock absorbers with reduced damping. Given the high mileage and the recent failure of front tyres, the condition of the control arms, bushes, and shocks should be checked for further play. The failure of the tyre pressure monitoring system in 2026 also requires a diagnostic check to ensure it is not a persistent sensor fault that could mask underlying pressure issues.
