2019 Citroen Berlingo 1.6L Diesel · WP19 HSZ

The most recent MOT on 2026-04-21 recorded two safety-critical issues: front brake pads wearing thin and a nearside front tyre worn close to the legal limit. These reflect ongoing wear on critical components, with brake pad thickness and tyre tread depth both indicating potential safety risks if not addressed. The 2025 MOT showed similar patterns, including rear brake discs pitted or scored and multiple tyres nearing wear limits, suggesting consistent mechanical stress across the vehicle’s front and rear axles. A recurring pattern of brake and tyre wear emerges, with front brake pads and tyres consistently flagged since 2025. The 2023 MOT included a failed test due to a severely deteriorated nearside front CV boot, which was later resolved, as no such defect appeared in subsequent reports. However, the 2025 and 2026 MOTs highlight persistent brake and tyre issues, indicating that wear is not being fully mitigated by maintenance. The vehicle’s mileage of 100,847 miles over seven years equates to roughly 14,407 miles annually, which is high for its age. This suggests frequent use, potentially accelerating wear on consumables like brakes and tyres. While high mileage can signal heavy usage, the absence of major defects in the 2024 MOT (79,885 miles) implies some periods of lighter use or effective maintenance. However, the recent trend of recurring brake and tyre issues points to ongoing degradation.
