2003 Citroen Berlingo 2.0L Diesel · WP03 CMK

The most recent MOT on 2025-06-24 recorded 124,293 miles, with the vehicle passing but highlighting multiple advisories. Key issues included tyres worn close to legal limits, damaged or deteriorated ball joint dust covers, a power steering leak, and under-inflated tyres. The braking system was noted as requiring adjustment, and the tow bar showed heavy corrosion. These findings suggest ongoing maintenance needs, particularly in tyres, suspension, and steering components. Recurring mechanical patterns include tyre wear, suspension joint deterioration, and power steering seepage. Tyres have consistently been near legal limits or damaged since 2023, while suspension ball joint dust covers and brake hoses show progressive degradation. The power steering leak persisted across multiple MOTs, and the tow bar’s corrosion has been repeatedly flagged. These issues indicate a trend of minor but persistent faults, likely linked to age and usage patterns. The vehicle’s mileage of 124,293 miles over 23 years equates to roughly 5,404 miles annually, which is low for its age. This could imply lighter use or extended periods of inactivity, both of which may contribute to component degradation (e.g., corrosion, tyre flat spots) despite lower wear on moving parts.
