2021 Citroen Berlingo 1000 Eprise PRO Bhdi 1.5L Diesel · NG71 MVM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach. In the most recent test on December 16, 2025 at 13,480 miles, the car passed after an initial failure for ineffective windscreen wipers and pitted brake discs. While the vehicle passed, the presence of all four brake discs being worn or scored suggests the braking system has suffered from surface corrosion, which is common in vehicles with this specific usage pattern. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a five-year-old van, averaging approximately 2,700 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between the January 2025 test at 11,560 miles and the December 2025 test at 13,480 miles, representing only 1,920 miles covered over eleven months. This low mileage explains the degradation of rubber and metal components, as the vehicle has not been used frequently enough to clear surface rust from the discs or maintain the wiper blades. A buyer should personally inspect the condition of the braking assembly, as the report of pitting and scoring across all axles in the December 2025 test indicates the metal surfaces are deteriorating due to inactivity. The buyer must also verify the operation of the horn and wipers, as these were both points of failure in recent testing. Given the low mileage, it is also necessary to check for flat spots on tyres and cracking in rubber suspension bushes which often occur when a vehicle remains stationary for long periods.
