2008 Citroen Berlingo 1.6L Diesel · WF08 XEO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the most recent MOT history indicates a reactive approach to maintenance. While the Citroen passed its test on 1 July 2025 at 56,782 miles, it had failed immediately prior due to multiple mechanical and safety defects. The presence of a noisy nearside wheel bearing, pitted offside front brake disc, and a worn tyre suggests that the previous owner only addressed faults when forced by a test failure rather than performing routine preventative care. At 18 years old, the recorded mileage of 56,782 miles is exceptionally low, averaging approximately 3,155 miles per year. The data shows consistent low-use patterns between June 2023 and July 2025, where the vehicle covered only 4,728 miles in two years. This low mileage often explains the lack of wear on the engine and drivetrain, but it also increases the likelihood of corrosion and age-related degradation of rubber components, seals, and metal surfaces, which is evident in the pitting found on the brake disc during the most recent test. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front assembly. The nearside front wheel bearing flagged as noisy in 2025 requires replacement to prevent future failure or excessive noise. Furthermore, the offside front brake disc shows signs of surface corrosion, which often occurs when a vehicle sits for long periods without being driven regularly. The buyer should also verify that the ABS fault recorded in 2023 at 52,054 miles was properly rectified and ensure the sensor or module is functioning correctly. Given the age and low usage, a close look for structural rust on the underbody and perished suspension bushes is essential, as these components degrade over time regardless of mileage driven.
