2015 Citroen Berlingo 1.6L Diesel · YC65 HGO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than proactive service pattern. The most recent test in October 2023 at 158,263 miles passed with only a minor advisory regarding an insecure undertray. This represents a stable trend compared to the significant failures seen in previous years, suggesting that the owner addresses specific faults only once they are flagged by a tester rather than performing comprehensive preventative maintenance. At 158,263 miles, this eleven-year-old Berlingo reflects high mileage, averaging approximately 14,400 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage, with the vehicle covering 27,286 miles between September 2021 and September 2022, and another 3,861 miles between September 2022 and October 2023. This high rate of travel puts significant strain on drivetrain and suspension components, which explains the frequent reports of brake wear and worn ball joints throughout the record. A buyer must pay close attention to the front suspension and braking system due to recurring mechanical issues. The 2021 failure highlighted a worn nears front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint and brake pads below the 1.5mm limit, while the 2022 test flagged worn front brake discs. While these were rectified, the high mileage suggests that other bushings and suspension components may be nearing the end of their life. An inspection should check for play in the steering geometry and signs of uneven wear on the brake calipers to ensure the high annual mileage has not led to underlying mechanical damage.
