Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2011 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.
