2014 Citroen Berlingo 1.6L Diesel · OU64 FPL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive mechanical care. While it passed its most recent test in September 2025 at 112,392 miles, this followed a failure just four miles prior due to multiple safety and mechanical defects. The trend appears unstable, as the vehicle suffered from a high volume of failures during the mid-2024 period, suggesting that components are only addressed once they reach the point of legal failure. The mileage profile is consistent with a twelve-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 9,300 miles per year. There is a significant gap in data between May 2023 at 60,157 miles and June 2024 at 89,214 miles, where the vehicle covered nearly 29,000 miles in a single year. This rapid accumulation likely correlates with the heavy wear noted in the June 2024 test, which identified fractured coil spring, worn brake pads, and a failed anti-roll bar linkage ball joint. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the suspension and braking systems, as the 2024 failure flagged multiple structural and rubber component issues. The oil leak identified in the September 2025 test requires close monitoring to determine if it is a minor weeping seal or a more significant gasket failure. Furthermore, the history of a missing central seat belt buckle and non-functional seat belts indicates that interior safety equipment may have been neglected. The buyer should verify the status of the timing belt replacement and check the wheel alignment to ensure the offside rear tyre is not causing further trim damage as noted in the latest failure report.
