Citroen Berlingo

Bought a Berlingo when I started self employed. Neat little van. Perfect for what I needed at the time. Only mishap when handbrake failed and got written off. Liked it so much I bought a near identical replacement.

I’ve used a berlingo for a few years doing well over 100k miles. Only let me down once when water pump went but otherwise faultless. Not the biggest of vans but perfect for what I need it for .

Drove this on hire for a week and loved it so much that I wanted one on a 2 year lease. Great spec, even better than my car. Favourite SWB van

Have had the berlingo for close to a year and really happy. Bought it second hand and with regular maintenance, fingers crossed have had no trouble. Only downside is it is a little small for carrying all tool plus materials. Ideal for a service van or trades who don’t require as many tools on a day to day basis. Bluetooth and reverse sensors as standard whereas I have had a partner which doesn’t have these features despite being almost the same van

Bought my Berlingo second hand two years ago and have been really please with it. Great consumption, easy access and after adding roof racks it has met all my needs as a gas engineer.

I bought my Berlingo 2nd hand when it was a year old. A basic model van (no AC) but it has been a dependable workhorse now for 5 years. It used to get very warm in summer (black van) until I fitted a low level spinning vent in the roof. There are plenty of good ply kits around for shelving and tool storage. Only real -ve point; I would prefer a long wheelbase van in hindsight, to add a bit more room.

You get what you pay for with this type of van. It’s a budget van but a good way to get started if you are going self employed. The built in satnav is a good feature if you can ever get it to work

Brilliant van, so happy with they way they drive, fuel economy is brilliant keeps it cheep to run, Bluetooth radio works really well so can call customer on way to job before attending

Great little van, especially if you don't need to carry everything on a day to day basis. It has plenty of room in back and I can fit 3m lengths of pipe by dropping the front seat and bulkhead panel.

Got the Partner (same van different badge) great on fuel , quite nippy as well. Just big enough to get 3m lengths of pipe in so perfect for what I need.
Just wish it had air con LOL

Iv a Peugeot partner L2 and it’s everything and more I need for my jobs
With every van the more room you have the more junk you carry

No the berlingo, but the Partner. we had one on flexi-hire for a year and it was that good that we just took on a contract on a anew top spec version.

Highlight is fuel economy. it seems to go months between tank fulls!

Good little van love the three seats could use dab radio and hands free for the phone And should come with a roof rack

Used to have a vivaro but found I had a lot of unused space. Great van for day to day repairs and servicing. Racked inside provides enough room for my stock and my tools. I do struggle with bigger stuff but for these jobs I just get materials delivered to site. The range of features you can have is impressive.

Very good van for the money! I had the business model not long ago which came with alot of adons: parking sensors, bluetooth, air con, cruise control. Only reason i dont still have it is the size. Its just too small inside for me. And the driving position isnt great however value for money is great

The bigger the van, the more useless stuff you'll store. I've carpeted mine out in the back and have racked it out enough so that I have more than enough room for tools, materials and anything else I would want to store. Also have had deadlocks put on the rear and side doors for further protection

Great little van, I have used these for many years take alot of abuse and just keep going. Good MPG. Only thing that wears out are the tyres.

Great van, handy to have the third seat for the extra passenger every now and again. Plenty of storage compartments and great on fuel

Not a bad van driving position doesn't go back far enough for my liking. When hands off wheel it likes to go the the left (tracking is perfect). However there are loads of decent storage places in the cab and decent features on mine like parking sensors, Bluetooth connection and aux etc. Not the best van out there but is good enough to do the job comfortably

Good van not very fast and flimsy unlike my other vans but does the job and safe. Ok for the money Needs more room

Great van for the money, sometimes wish I had gone for a bigger van but then I would just carry more crap.

The lease on the van is nearly up for us and for a little van can't complain to be honest. It's been a great run around doing servicing and little jobs. It's great on fuel and would have another one any time.

These vans are great value for money. I had one on a 2 year lease. Very cheap. cheap to run.
Great little run around.
Small inside. but did the job well.
Loads of extras included.

Mine is 5 years old now and just done 110,000 miles and hasn't missed a beat.

The enterprise model is full of useful mod cons such as aircon, Bluetooth and rear parking sensors.

Will chop her in soon but only because I have a yearning for something bigger now but this is a good solid reliable van as long as you look after it and drive carefully.

We've had a berlingo for just over 3 years. We got it brand new from our local main dealer Wingrove Citroen.
We got the automatic version as one of our lads didn't have a manual licence. I have to say the van was comfortable with plenty of room in the front and a good size load area. It was fairly economical and service intervals were every 20000 miles.

One downside was the automatic gearbox. It was pathetic. It's the only automatic I've driven where it actually rolled back on even slight inclines. You have to use the handbrake while starting on a hill. Couple that up with the eco mode where the engine cuts out to save fuel and you could roll back up to a metre by the time the engine started and the gearbox decided to move you forward.

Got a brand new Berlingo in May 2015 although I've found it to be a bit too small it means I keep it cleaner as I need to remove / replace materials and scaffold etc it's a nice little van to drive and the 1.6 is nippy around town but also good on motorway. It's quite comfortable to drive with decent features such as A/C and electric windows. Overall a good little van
