Buying Tips for the Citroën Berlingo (Mk2 pre-facelift)

  • Check both sliding doors, the tailgate and the rear seat mechanisms slowly because wear from repeated family use shows up here first
  • On 1.6 HDi diesels, listen for injector “chuffing” and ask about turbo-oil-feed or injector-seal work
  • Look for signs of van-like abuse such as battered load trims, sagging seats or mismatched tyres, even on a passenger-spec Multispace
  • A diesel used mainly for short school-run work is much more likely to have DPF additive and regeneration trouble
