Our Verdict
A sensible choice for those needing a practical diesel van, provided the recent MOT history is understood. The vehicle shows a relatively consistent pattern of maintenance and low mileage for its age.
When viewing this 1.5L diesel Berlingo, focus on the recent MOT failures. Although the specific defect types were not recorded in the summary, the fact that failures occurred at 36,741 and 39,925 miles suggests minor components may require periodic attention. Ask the seller for the specific reasons for these failures to ensure they were simple fixes rather than recurring issues.
Check the service history specifically for oil change intervals, as the 1.5L diesel engine is sensitive to maintenance. Given the mileage is just under 40,000, ensure that any major scheduled service items for a six-year-old vehicle have been addressed. Inspect the load area for signs of heavy wear that might not be reflected in the mileage alone.
As a 1500cc diesel, this Berlingo is designed for efficiency, particularly on longer journeys. You can expect competitive fuel economy, though actual figures will depend on load weight and driving style. Tax and insurance groups for this model are typically moderate, making it an affordable option for small businesses or tradespeople.
Maintenance costs for Citroen commercial vehicles are generally predictable, but be aware of potential costs related to diesel particulate filters (DPF) if the vehicle is only used for short urban trips. An estimated annual running cost, including fuel, tax, insurance, and basic maintenance, would fall in the range of £1,200-£1,500 depending on annual mileage.
Pay close attention to the recent MOT failures at 36,741 and 39,925 miles. Even though these resulted in passes, they indicate that certain parts of the vehicle required immediate attention. Inspect the tyres, brakes, and lighting, as these are common areas for MOT failures in light commercial vehicles.
Given the diesel engine, listen for any unusual noises during a cold start and check for any signs of leaks around the engine bay. Additionally, check the condition of the suspension and any visible underside components, as these are frequently subject to wear in vans used for carrying loads.
This 2020 grey Citroen Berlingo has covered 39,932 miles since its first registration in July 2020, which is relatively low for a diesel commercial vehicle of this age. The MOT history shows three recorded tests, with the most recent passing in February 2026. While there were recorded failures in 2025 and 2026, these were resolved within the same day, resulting in clean passes.
