2014 Citroen Berlingo 1.6L Diesel · NG14 LSO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While it passed its most recent test on 27 May 2026 at 92,091 miles, this followed a failure just nine days prior. The presence of an insecure nearside front Macpherson strut mounting, thin brake pads, and worn offside front suspension bushes suggests the owner only addresses mechanical faults when a test fails rather than performing preventative maintenance. At a recorded 92,091 miles, the Berlingo averages approximately 7,700 miles per year over its twelve-year life. This usage pattern is consistent with light annual driving, with 6,724 miles covered between May 2024 and June 2025, and another 6,766 miles in the final year. Although the mileage is low for the age, the frequency of suspension-related failures indicates that the rubber components and mounting hardware are reaching the end of their service life. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the front suspension geometry, as the offside front suspension arm bush has been flagged as worn in both May 2024 and May 2026. The recent failure of the nearside front strut mounting also requires verification that the new component is properly secured and free from signs of further structural corrosion or metal fatigue. Additionally, the nearside rear brake pads should be measured, as they were noted as wearing thin in the most recent 2026 test, indicating they are nearing their replacement limit.
