The Berlingo is one of the few vehicles whose main argument is measurable: at a given length, it offers cabin and load volume that few body styles come close to.
It exists as a glazed leisure vehicle for families and as a panelled van, two distinct markets that coexist in the listings.
Of the 146 used Citroen Berlingo listed right now: 88% are diesel. 84% have manual transmission. Half are priced under €10,000.
The second generation, from 2008 to 2018, makes up a large share of the offer and remains very affordable.
The third generation, from 2018, gains in finish and driver aids and offers an electric e-Berlingo.
An extended XL version exists on both, with seven seats available: the third row there is genuinely usable, unlike in many SUVs.
The equivalent Peugeot Rifter and Opel Combo share the same underpinnings: compare them at equal budget.
On a panel van, the load area tells the story of its use: mounting points, lining, condition of the floor.
On a car that has covered a lot of loaded kilometres, check the rear suspension and the clutch.
On the sliding side doors, test the operation and the condition of the rails: it is a frequent and expensive failure.
On an e-Berlingo, ask for a battery diagnosis and check the real range when loaded, which drops appreciably.
A large family, carrying equipment, or business use. It is a rational purchase decided on measurements.
