2015 Citroen Berlingo 1.6L Diesel · RJ65 VPR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive approach rather than preventative care. The most recent test in January 2025 at 139,226 miles passed, yet the tester flagged both front tyres as reaching the legal limit with uneven wear. This follows a pattern of minor electrical and consumable failures that were rectified immediately after previous tests, suggesting the current owner only addresses faults once they result in an MOT fail notice. At 139,226 miles, this eleven-year-old Berlingo has clocked significant mileage, averaging over 12,600 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage between December 2022 and December 2023, where the vehicle covered 17,575 miles in a single year. This high rate of accumulation is typical for commercial or heavy daily use, which puts considerable strain on the drivetrain, suspension components, and braking system. While no structural corrosion is noted yet, the high mileage increases the likelihood of accelerated wear on mechanical assemblies. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension geometry and alignment, as the uneven tyre wear noted in 2025 often points to worn bushes or perished shock absorbers. Given the high mileage, a thorough check of the brake discs for thinning and the calipers for binding is essential. The previous history of failed bulbs for stop lamps and position lamps suggests the electrical system may be neglected, so testing all exterior lighting and the washer system is necessary to ensure no hidden wiring issues exist beyond the simple bulbs.
