2007 Citroen Berlingo 1.6L Diesel · NH07 GXT

The 2007 Citroen Berlingo’s most recent MOT on 2026-04-02 resulted in a pass , but it highlighted several critical issues. The nearside front wheel bearing had slight play , a recurring defect seen in prior MOTs. The nearside rear vehicle structure showed corrosion that has not significantly compromised rigidity, though the issue has persisted since at least 2025. Both front tyres were worn close to legal limits with edge scrubbing, a problem also noted in earlier tests. These findings suggest ongoing mechanical and structural concerns. The preceding MOT on 2026-03-30 was a fail , with similar defects to the recent pass, including wheel bearing play, corrosion, and tyre wear. Additional failures included a severely deteriorated constant velocity boot on the nearside front drive shaft and excessive corrosion on the nearside rear brake pipe. These issues indicate repeated exposure to moisture or neglect , likely accelerating rust and component degradation. Looking further back, MOTs from 2025 and 2024 reveal a pattern of brake disc wear , corroded brake pipes , and shock absorber corrosion . The 2025-04-10 fail included worn suspension ball joints and significantly worn brake discs , which were later addressed, as seen in the 2025-04-11 pass.
