2017 Citroen Berlingo 1.6L Diesel · NK66 HMV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent inspection in March 2026 at 137,584 miles with no recorded defects. However, the maintenance trend shows a period of reactive rather than proactive care. While the latest result suggests a stable state, the history from early 2024 reveals a significant lapse where multiple mechanical and safety components were only addressed after failing a test or reaching critical wear limits. At nine years old, the recorded 137,584 miles represent a high-use profile averaging approximately 15,000 miles per year. The data shows a notable surge in activity between January 2023 and February 2024, where the vehicle covered over 25,000 miles in just 13 months. This rapid accumulation explains the accelerated wear on heavy-duty components like brakes and steering. The gap between the 2023 test and the 2024 failure indicates the vehicle was under heavy strain, leading to the multiple failures observed during that interval. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the steering system, as the steering rack inner joints were flagged for play in early 2024. The recurring issues with binding rear brakes and pitted discs suggest a history of caliper corrosion or uneven wear that should be monitored for continued degradation. Additionally, the oil leak noted in the 2024 test at 132,586 miles requires physical verification to ensure it has not developed into a significant fault, given the high-mileage nature of the engine.
