2011 Citroen Berlingo 1.6L Diesel · PX61 PYS

The 2011 Citroen Berlingo passed its most recent MOT on 2026-07-27 at 168,201 miles, indicating it remains roadworthy despite noted defects. The pattern of failures has moderated, with the 2026 test recording only tyre wear and slight anti‑roll bar link play, compared with repeated suspension arm, coil spring and brake issues in earlier years, suggesting a stabilising maintenance record. Covering 168,201 miles over roughly 15 years equates to about 11,200 miles per year, which is typical for its age. Notable mileage jumps occurred between August 2023 and July 2024 (10,703 miles) and July 2024 to July 2025 (7,690 miles), reflecting periods of increased use, while the interval from July 2025 to July 2026 showed a more modest 2,309‑mile increase. A buyer should therefore prioritize a close examination of the suspension geometry, checking for play in the front and rear ball joints, condition of the anti‑roll bar links and bushes, and the integrity of the coil springs, which have shown corrosion since 2020. The rear bump stops also appear worn, and the service brake has exhibited fluctuating behaviour, so a physical brake inspection is advisable. Tyre edge wear suggests alignment or suspension issues that merit verification. Additionally, the buyer must verify that all lighting functions, including position, stop, registration plate and headlamp beams, operate correctly, as lamp failures have recurred throughout the history, and confirm that the seat mounting and seat belt anchorage are secure, given the repeated observations of insecure mounting points.
