Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and a thorough inspection before buying this 2015 white Citroen Berlingo diesel. The MOT history shows a persistent minor oil leak and worn components, but no major structural or safety failures across its 11-year life.
When negotiating on this March 2015 white Berlingo, use the recorded minor defects to seek a price reduction for upcoming maintenance such as the near-side rear tyre replacement and registration lamp repair noted in the 2026 MOT. Request full service history to confirm the 1.6-litre diesel engine has been regularly serviced, as the persistent oil leak flagged in 2025 and 2026 tests should be investigated by a mechanic. Given the 2023 CV boot deterioration and 2026 mirror damage, budget for wear-and-tear items and verify the vehicle has not been used harshly as a trade van.
The 1560cc diesel engine in this Berlingo typically offers good fuel economy for a van of its size, though exact MPG is not provided in the data. As a 2015 diesel, it will fall into a higher VED band than petrol equivalents but remains cheaper to tax than newer standards; insurance group data is not supplied, but comparable Berlingos sit in lower groups suited to light commercial use. Estimated annual running costs including fuel, tax, insurance and typical maintenance for 10,000-12,000 miles are around £1,200-£1,500, with the oil leak and tyre wear adding minor upkeep.
Inspect the central front oil leak noted at the 2025 (108,674 miles) and 2026 (119,935 miles) MOTs to determine if it is from the sump, turbo or rocker cover, and assess severity beyond 'not excessive'. Check the near-side front constant velocity boot that was severely deteriorated in 2025 and confirm it has been replaced, plus examine the damaged non-obligatory mirror and inoperative near-side rear registration lamp from the latest test. Verify tyre condition including the under-inflated spare and near-side rear edge wear at 3.5-4.5mm, and test the windscreen washer system that caused the 2023 failure.
This LV15AEK Berlingo has covered 119,935 miles as of its April 2026 MOT, which is moderate for a 2015 diesel van. The history shows one MOT failure in 2023 for a non-working windscreen washer, quickly retested and passed the next day. Recent tests note a recurring central front oil leak, a damaged non-obligatory mirror, and tyre wear, suggesting deferred minor maintenance rather than serious faults.
No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the Citroen Berlingo to compare this example against the model average.

Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2015 model year cars.
- 1.6 HDi injector seal blow-byModerate
The 1.6 HDi can leak combustion gases past the injector seals, creating the classic chuffing noise, diesel smell and tar-like deposits around the injectors.
- DPF additive-system and regeneration troubleModerate
Short-trip use can clog the DPF and upset the Eolys additive system, leading to warning lights, limp mode and expensive catch-up maintenance.
- Sliding door roller and latch wearModerate
The twin sliding doors are a big Berlingo selling point, but worn rollers, cables and latches make them heavy, noisy or awkward to shut cleanly.
