2020 Citroen Berlingo 1.5L Diesel · SC69 AAF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a clear decline in preventative care standards. While the most recent test in January 2026 at 81,786 miles passed, it introduced multiple mechanical advisories that were not present in previous years. The appearance of play in the offside front track rod end and a distorted nearside front road wheel suggests that suspension components are now being addressed only upon reaching failure thresholds rather than through routine scheduled maintenance. At 81,786 miles over six years, this Citroen Berlingo covers an average of approximately 13,600 miles per year. This high usage is consistent with commercial application, which accelerates the wear on consumables and structural components. There is a notable mileage jump between January 2023 and January 2024, where the vehicle covered nearly 5,000 miles, followed by a more rapid accumulation of 13,900 miles in the twelve months leading up to the January 2025 test. This consistent, heavy-duty use explains the increasing stress on the braking system and suspension assembly. A buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the braking and steering systems. The record shows front inner brake discs have been pitted and scored across both 2025 and 2026, indicating a lack of replacement or attention to caliper caliper health. The flagged play in the track rod end and the distorted wheel rim suggest potential alignment issues or previous impact damage that could lead to uneven tyre wear. Furthermore, the scrubbing on both the nearside front and rear outer tyres in 2026 indicates a significant geometry fault that requires an immediate professional adjustment to prevent further premature tyre failure.
