2015 Citroen Berlingo 1.6L Diesel · TH15 MJK

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status but the maintenance history reveals a reactive approach rather than preventative care. While the most recent test in July 2025 at 101,340 miles passed, the tester flagged a damaged nearside front brake hose and a tyre nearing the legal limit. This follows a significant failure in July 2024 where multiple mechanical and lighting issues were required to be addressed simultaneously, suggesting that the owner tends to rectify faults only when they result in an MOT failure. At 101,340 miles over eleven years, the Berlingo has averaged approximately 9,200 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a light commercial vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent movement, with roughly 3,600 miles covered between July 2024 and July 2025. This steady mileage accumulation suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stagnation, though the recurring issues with tyres and brake components indicate that parts are reaching the end of their service life at a standard rate. A prospective buyer must prioritise a thorough inspection of the braking system and suspension geometry. The July 2024 failure noted that both rear service brakes were excessively binding and the discs were pitted and scored, indicating potential caliper sticking or seized sliders. Furthermore, the recurring reports of inner edge wear on multiple tyres across 2023, 2024, and 2025 suggest a persistent alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that remain unaddressed. The damaged nearside front brake hose noted in the 2025 test should also be verified to ensure it was replaced correctly to prevent future fluid leaks.
