Our Verdict

Approach this 2020 Citroen Berlingo with real caution due to a serious 2025 MOT failure involving DPF tampering and heavy smoking. Although it currently holds a clean 2026 certificate, the history suggests prior neglect that may return.

Before buying, insist on full service history and ask the seller to prove the DPF was properly restored after the 2025 failure, as tampering often means costly emissions work was needed. Negotiate hard on price given the body damage noted in 2024 and 2025 and the missing spare wheel carrier reported at 13,443 miles. For this 1.5 litre Euro 6 diesel Berlingo, check for proof of regular oil changes and DPF regeneration cycles, as neglect is what led to the smoking fault.
