Our Verdict
This 2018 Citroen Berlingo presents a me
When viewing this 2018 Citroen Berlingo, scrutinise the physical condition against the extensive advisory notes recorded in recent MOT tests. The presence of recurring wear items across the 2024 and 2025 tests indicates that upcoming replacement costs are imminent. Buyers should use these noted mechanical items—specifically regarding the front suspension bushes, rear brake discs, and tyres—as points for price negotiation.
Ensure you verify the supporting service history alongside the five recorded MOT tests to understand how regularly consumable items have been changed. Pay close attention to the 1.56-litre diesel engine's cold-start behavior and check for any documented maintenance regarding timing belts and auxiliary components, as these are critical maintenance milestones for high-mileage diesel MPVs.
Running costs for this 1.56-litre diesel Berlingo will be heavily influenced by its high annual mileage of 115,596 miles. While diesel variants typically offer competitive fuel economy on longer journeys, potential buyers must factor in immediate expenditure to resolve the worn tyres, scored brake discs, and suspension bush noted on the September 2025 test.
Insurance group positioning for a utilitarian multi-purpose vehicle of this age is generally moderate, though rates will vary based on individual driver profiles. Road tax bands apply according to standard UK vehicle excise duty rules for diesel passenger vehicles registered in 2018, and maintenance costs should account for periodic replacement of suspension and braking consumables.
Pay close attention to the offside front lower suspension arm rear bush, which has been flagged as worn (but without excessive movement) in both the September 2024 and September 2025 MOT tests. This item will likely require replacement soon. Inspect both rear brake discs, noted as worn, pitted, or scored, and check the rear brake pads which were reported as wearing thin in September 2025.
Examine the condition of the tyres across the vehicle, noting that tyre wear close to the legal limit has been recorded in consecutive annual tests (nearside rear in 2024; nearside front and nearside rear in 2025). Additionally, check the exhaust system for the minor leak of exhaust gases recorded in September 2025, inspect the rear coil springs for the corrosion noted at the same test, and verify the secure fitting of the undertrays.
First registered in April 2018 and finished in silver, this 1.56-litre diesel Berlingo has recorded 115,596 miles as of September 2025. The vehicle holds a consecutive run of MOT passes from December 2021 through to September 2025, though recent tests highlight a growing number of advisories relating to suspension, tyres, and braking wear.
No aggregate reliability statistics are available for this specific model configuration, meaning assessment relies strictly on the individual vehicle's documented history.
