2015 Citroen Berlingo 1.6L Diesel · YA15 MHY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 11 June 2025 at 104,863 miles. However, the maintenance trend is worsening. The most recent test required a failure and immediate rectification of a fractured nearside front coil spring and a perished offside front CV boot. The fact that the car passed shortly after with two tyres still flagged as worn close to the legal limit suggests a reactive approach to maintenance rather than a proactive one. The mileage is consistent with the age of the vehicle, averaging roughly 9,533 miles per year. There is a notable increase in annual usage in recent years. Between June 2023 and June 2024, the vehicle covered 19,309 miles, nearly double the average annual rate. This increased load likely contributed to the accelerated wear of the suspension and tyres seen in the 2025 records. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the tyre treads and alignment. The record shows a chronic pattern of tyres wearing on the edges, appearing in almost every test since 2019, including the 2020, 2023, 2024, and 2025 entries. This recurring issue strongly indicates an underlying suspension or tracking problem that has not been permanently resolved. Inspect the braking system and drive shaft seals. The tester flagged thin brake pads in 2020, 2021, and 2022, and a drive shaft output seal leak was noted in June 2019. While these are common wear items, the combination of the recent CV boot failure and the historical oil leak suggests the drivetrain and steering components require a thorough check for grease loss or further seepage.
