Our Verdict
Exercise caution due to the high mileage
Given the vehicle has covered over 138,000 miles, you should prioritize checking the service history for evidence of regular oil changes and timing belt replacements, which are critical for this diesel engine. Negotiate on the basis of the high mileage, as it is significantly higher than the UK average for an eight-year-old vehicle.
Before purchasing, ensure the recent tyre issue noted in the January 2026 MOT has been fully rectified with a quality replacement. Ask the seller for documentation regarding any recent major mechanical work, as high-mileage diesel engines can face increased maintenance requirements as they age.
As a 1.6L diesel, this Berlingo is designed for efficiency on longer journeys, though running costs will be influenced by its high mileage. Fuel economy should be reasonable for a vehicle of this size, but expect more frequent component replacements due to wear.
Insurance groups for Berlingos vary, so obtain a quote based on the specific engine and driver profile. Maintenance costs will likely be higher than average due to the vehicle's age and mileage, particularly regarding suspension and braking components.
Specifically address the January 2026 MOT failure, which identified a nearside rear tyre with ply or cords exposed; verify that a new tyre has been fitted and that the wheel itself shows no signs of damage.
Inspect the tyres across the entire vehicle, as the previous failure suggests a potential pattern of wear or maintenance neglect. Additionally, check the condition of the suspension and underbody, as high-mileage diesel vans often show signs of heavy loading or rough road use.
This 2018 silver Citroen Berlingo 1.6 diesel has covered 138,355 miles in approximately eight years. The MOT history shows five recorded tests, with a recent failure in January 2026 regarding a nearside rear tyre with exposed cords. Aside from that specific tyre issue, the vehicle has secured several consecutive passes with no defects recorded.
No aggregate reliability data is available for this specific Citroen Berlingo model to provide a comparative benchmark.
