What Citroen Berlingo failures look like
2,067,204 Citroen Berlingo tests on record carry the manual reference DVSA attaches to each defect. The most frequent problems were with axles, wheels, tyres and suspension on 982,968 tests (47.6%), with lamps, reflectors and electrical equipment on 734,959 tests (35.6%) and with brakes on 585,190 tests (28.3%). A test can fail on more than one thing, and an MOT can be failed on one defect while another is only advised, so these counts do not add up to the number of tests.
