2009 Citroen Berlingo 1.6L Diesel · NJ09 JXR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the most recent inspection indicates a shift towards minor mechanical and electrical neglect. While the car maintained a clean record in 2025, the February 2026 test identified two new issues: a severely deteriorated offside front drive shaft boot and an inoperative registration plate lamp. This suggests that while major systems are functioning, peripheral rubber components are beginning to require way maintenance due to age and wear. At 120,827 miles, the vehicle has averaged approximately 7,100 miles per year, which is consistent with typical usage for a light commercial or estate vehicle. The mileage progression shows steady annual accumulation, with roughly 5,000 miles covered between the 2025 and 2026 tests, and over 6,000 miles between 2024 and 2025. This consistent usage suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to extreme mileage, which generally aids in predicting wear patterns. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and drivetrain, as the noted deterioration of the CV boot often leads to premature failure of the drive joint if not replaced immediately. Furthermore, the 2024ulation noted corrosion on the offside rear seat belt anchorage that was covered with sealant; it is vital to inspect this area in person to ensure the rust has not progressed beyond the surface level, as structural integrity in these points is critical for vehicles of this age.
