2019 Citroen Berlingo 1.5L Diesel · YR69 WDV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than proactive ownership pattern. While the most recent test in July 2025 at 76,054 miles resulted in a pass, it followed an immediate failure due to multiple safety-related defects. These included a bald nearside front tyre, poorly aligned headlamps, and both inoperative registration plate lamps. This trend suggests that the owner only addresses mechanical issues when forced by an MOT failure, rather than performing routine preventative maintenance. At 76,054 miles over seven years, the Berlingo averages approximately 10,800 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage for a light commercial vehicle. The mileage data shows consistent use, with 19,230 miles covered between the July 2023 and June 2024 tests, and another 6,603 miles covered between June 2024 and July 2025. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle has not sat for long periods but has exposed components to standard wear and tear consistent with its age. A buyer should pay close attention to the braking system, as the record in July 2023 at 50,221 miles flagged seriously weakened front brake discs and dangerously thin pads. While these were clearly replaced, the occurrence of such a significant failure indicates that components are being run until they reach the absolute limit of safety. Given the 2025 failure regarding a bald tyre, a thorough inspection of the current tyre brands and matching depths is essential to ensure no further consumables have been neglected. The buyer should also check the suspension bushes and bushings for wear, as these are common points of failure on this model at this mileage bracket.
