Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and budget for imme
If you are considering this Berlingo, your first priority should be a professional inspection of the engine bay and drivetrain. The MOT history shows a persistent issue with CV boots (specifically the offside front outer boot in 2022 and 2025, and the nearside front in 2024), which can lead to more expensive drive shaft failures if left unaddressed.
Negotiate on the basis of the recorded oil leaks and the worn front brake discs noted in the 2025 test. You should also ask for evidence of any recent work carried out to rectify the suspension arm bush and tyre perishing noted in 2024. A full service history should be verified to see if the high mileage has been supported by regular oil changes, given the recorded leaks.
As a 1.6L diesel, this Berlingo is designed for efficiency, likely sitting in a moderate insurance group and tax band. However, at 168,630 miles, maintenance costs are expected to be higher than average due to the age and mileage of wear-and-tear components like suspension bushes, brakes, and seals.
Estimated annual running costs typically include fuel, tax, insurance, and a higher contingency fund for repairs. Given the recent MOT advisories, you should budget for more frequent mechanical interventions than a lower-mileage vehicle.
Focus heavily on the drivetrain; the MOT history shows 'severely deteriorated' CV boots appearing multiple times, which is a known point of failure for this vehicle. Check the area around the engine for the source of the 'not excessive' oil leaks recorded in both 2024 and 2025 to ensure they are not worsening.
Additionally, inspect the front suspension components. The 2024 MOT noted a worn nearside front lower suspension arm bush, and the 2025 test highlighted worn front brake discs. Check the condition of all tyres, as the 2024 record flagged perishing/cracking on the nearside rear tyre.
This 2014 silver Citroen Berlingo 1.6 diesel has covered 168,630 miles as of February 2025, which is high for its age. The MOT history shows a pattern of recurring issues, specifically regarding drive shaft CV boots and oil leaks across multiple years. While it has passed its tests, the frequency of advisories indicates several components are reaching the end of their service life.
No aggregate reliability data is available for this specific Citroen Berlingo model to provide a comparative benchmark.
