2013 Citroen Berlingo 1.6L Diesel · SP63 EFR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive service pattern rather than proactive care. While the most recent test in November 2025 at 90,344 miles was a pass, it followed a failure just one day prior due to multiple mechanical and electrical faults. The trend suggests that the owner only addresses defects once they reach an MOT failure threshold, as evidenced by the cluster of suspension, lighting, and tyre issues identified across the last 24 months. At 90,344 miles over 13 years, the Citroen Berlingo has averaged approximately 7,000 miles per year, which is consistent with typical low-mileage usage. The mileage data shows steady progression, with roughly 7,700 miles covered between the November 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 7,800 miles covered between late 2024 and 2025. This consistent use suggests the vehicle has not sat for long periods, which generally prevents the degradation of rubber components and seals. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the front suspension geometry, as the record shows a history of fractured coil springs, worn ball joints, and perished suspension arm bushes. The 2024 failure also highlighted a worn offside drive shaft joint, which requires checking for rubber boot tears or excessive play. Given the 2025 advisory regarding a minor oil leak and thin front brake pads, a physical inspection of the engine bay and braking system is necessary to ensure the leak is not worsening and the pads have sufficient life. Recurring lighting failures also indicate a lack of basic bulb checks prior to testing.
