2006 Citroen Berlingo 1.6L Diesel · WD55 YSH

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. While it passed the test in February 2026 at 124,106 miles, it failed a test just days prior due to steering and lighting defects. The presence of a damaged steering rack gaiter and seepage from the steering assembly suggests the component is nearing the end of its functional life, which could lead to a more expensive steering rack failure if not monitored closely. At 124,106 miles over twenty years, the vehicle has averaged approximately 6,200 miles per year, which is consistent with low-to-moderate usage for its age. The mileage accumulation is steady, with roughly 5,600 miles covered between February 2024 and February 2025, and another 6,000 miles between early 2025 and early 2026. This regular usage suggests the vehicle is not sat for long periods, though the low annual mileage does not negate the age of rubber components and suspension hardware. A physical inspection must focus heavily on the steering system and the reported faults. The steering seepage noted in February 2026 requires a check of fluid levels and internal seals to ensure the rack is not failing rapidly. The buyer should also verify the offside rear door mechanism, which failed in 2025, and confirm that the offside front indicator is the correct amber as required. Given the previous advisory for all four tyres worn to the legal limit in 2025, the current tread depth and wear patterns should be measured to determine if they have been replaced since the last test.
