2010 Citroen Berlingo 1.6L Diesel · WF60 SSK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent inspection in February 2026 with no recorded defects. While the overall status is positive, the maintenance trend shows a period of improvement following several years of concerns. The transition from noted advisories in 2024 to a clean sheet in the 2026 test suggests that previously identified issues may have been addressed by the owner recently. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 16-year-old Citroen, averaging only approximately 1,884 miles per year. The data shows consistent low-usage patterns, moving from 20,859 miles in early 2022 to 30,139 miles by 2026. While low mileage indicates less mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, it also presents risks related to aging rubber-based components and seal degradation due to long periods of limited use. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the recurring front oil leak that was flagged in the 2022, 2024, and 2025 tests. Although it was described as not excessive at the time, its persistence over several years indicates a weeping seal or gasket that may eventually require replacement to prevent further loss. Additionally, since brake pads were noted as wearing thin in 2024, the current braking system should be verified to ensure they were replaced according to that advice. Given the vehicle's age and low mileage, the physical inspection should also focus on structural corrosion and the condition of suspension bushings, which can perish on cars that sit for long periods. Checking the age of the tyres and the integrity of fluid hoses is essential, as these components often fail due to time rather than distance travelled.
