2018 Citroen Berlingo 1.6L Diesel · WN68 TYX

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive approach to repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent MOT test in September 2025 at 157,067 miles followed an initial failure due to multiple electrical faults and mechanical wear. While the vehicle passed after immediate rectification, the recurring nature of issues with stop lamps, position lamps, and lighting components suggests that basic consumable items are only addressed when they reach a point of failure. This Citroen Berlingo has a high usage pattern, averaging approximately 20,000 miles per year over its eight-year life. The data shows significant accumulation between the September 2024 test at 142,914 miles and the September 2025 test at 157,067 miles, representing travel of over 14,000 miles in a single year. This high-mileage profile places considerable stress on the drivetrain and chassis, which is consistent with the noted wear on the brake discs and suspension arm bushes. A prospective buyer must conduct a close inspection of the front braking system and suspension geometry. The front brake discs have been flagged as worn, pitted, or scored in both the 2024 and 2025 tests, indicating they are nearing the end of their life. Furthermore, the offside front suspension arm bush was noted as worn in 2025; while it did not cause a failure, such components often lead to unpredictable handling and tyre wear. The structural integrity of the nearside outer sill also requires attention. The most recent test noted slight damage, and this area should be checked for signs of corrosion or deep impact that could compromise the chassis. Given the history of a severely deteriorated CV boot in 2023 and a binding rear service brake, the entire mechanical assembly should be inspected for fluid leaks or seized calipers to ensure the high-mileage usage has not resulted in underlying mechanical failures.
