Our Verdict
This is a strong candidate for buyers seeking a relatively modern diesel van. Given its recent MOT history and mileage, it presents a lower-risk profile than many similar commercial vehicles.
When inspecting this 1.5L diesel Berlingo, your primary focus should be on verifying the service history to ensure the diesel particulate filter (DPF) and timing components have been managed according to manufacturer schedules. While the MOT history shows no defects, always check for signs of heavy load wear on the suspension and rear suspension components, which are common on small vans.
Negotiate based on the remaining manufacturer warranty, if applicable, and ask for proof of any recent servicing. Since the vehicle is a diesel, check for any signs of fluid leaks around the engine bay and ensure the turbocharger operates smoothly during a test drive.
As a 1500cc diesel, this Berlingo is designed for efficiency, particularly on longer motorway hauls. You can expect competitive fuel economy, though costs will vary based on payload and driving style. Tax and insurance groups for this model are generally moderate, making it an affordable option for small businesses or tradespeople.
Maintenance costs should be predictable for a vehicle of this age, though keep in mind that diesel-specific components like injectors or sensors can be more costly to replace than petrol equivalents. Expect an annual maintenance budget that accounts for routine oil changes and tyre replacements.
Based on the provided MOT history, there have been no recorded failures or advisories for this specific vehicle (WA21AOR) in 2024 or 2025. However, you should manually inspect the tyres, brake pads, and wiper blades, as these are common items that can fall into advisory territory.
Given the 1.5L diesel engine, listen for any unusual knocking or whistling sounds that could indicate issues with the fuel system or turbo. Check the van's interior load area for excessive scuffing or damage that might suggest it has been used for heavy or abrasive cargo.
Registered in August 2021, this black Citroen Berlingo has covered 28,875 miles as of its last MOT in June 2025. The vehicle has a clean MOT record with no defects reported in its two most recent tests. For a 2021 diesel model, the mileage appears to be consistent with typical commercial usage patterns.
No aggregate MOT data is currently available to provide a specific reliability rating for the Citroen Berlingo.
