2017 Citroen Berlingo Multispace 1.6L Diesel · NK67 DPY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the most recent inspection indicates a shift from a previously clean record to reactive maintenance. In the February 2026 test at 20,296 miles, the car failed due to a split offside front drive shaft joint constant velocity boot and a nail in the offside rear tyre. While these issues were rectified to secure a pass the same day, the failure marks the first mechanical defect recorded in three years of clean testing. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,255 miles per year. The data shows a significant jump in usage between November 2023 at 9,763 miles and February 2026 at 20,296 miles, where the vehicle covered over 10,000 miles in just over two years. This low annual mileage suggests less wear on the engine and drivetrain, but long periods of inactivity often lead to the degradation of rubber components and brake hardware, which may explain the relatively early CV boot failure. A buyer should physically inspect the offside front drive area to ensure the replacement boot has been fitted correctly and that no grease has leaked from the joint. Given the low mileage, it is also vital to check the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, as vehicles that sit for long periods often suffer from seized calipers. Verify the age of the tyres specifically looking for sidewall cracking, as rubber degrades over time regardless of tread depth.
