Citroen Berlingo reviews

Great car just lacks Aircon drives great loads of space

The car was chosen to accommodate my electric scooter, because I have limited mobility. It does this but it is also very comfortable and easy to drive.

Good all-rounder. Loads of space for a confirmed shopper. Probably good for hauling kids and dogs. Like the pull down tables at back, for bad weather day picnics. For size, economical on fuel. Happy with overall experience.

The Berlingo is a basic vehicle but very flexible in that it can be used as a fairly comfortable car or a quite spacious van. The version I have has some computerisation but the controls are mechanical. It is inexpensive to run, and has been extremely reliable.

As a utility vehicle this is hard to beat with a rear up and over, 2 sliding side doors and removable rear seats and level floor which gives a massive loadspace with built in anchor points but performance and comfort struggle The seating is adequate, no more than but the controls are good and its easy to drive and quite reliable. Its performance is a little sedate but overall is a good compromise

Excellent fuel consumption, excellent practicality with easily folding/removable rear seats, plenty of cubby holes, light and airy. Rubbish automatic gearbox, very jerky when changing between the lower gears, worst I have ever experienced, cvt types are much better.

Hi yes i bought this Van thank you very much for the way you advertise on the AA site it was very helpfull , the vehicle will hopefully last me till i retire as a self employed Painter & Decorator which ive been in the Trade for 39 years ! I will be collecting the Van this Saturday all being well ! Once again Thank you Andrew m

Just love it, had it 9 years from new, done nearly 100,000 miles, somewhat underpowered but marvelous in all other ways

My berlingo seconds as another storage area for dog and camping stuff, and it does so perfectly!

Excellent car. Very practical and surprisingly comfortable. It was the smallest car that I could put my tandem bicycle inside in an upright position. I get 50mpg on a run. I love the optional 'Modular' roof that includes roof lights and cupboards. Best car I have owned, and am now on my second.

Great for passengers and carrying stuff. Excellent use of space with lots of storage. I'd definitely buy another Berlingo in the future.

I am very satisfied with the load space, engine, driving position, economy, on-costs ........ .... but the suspension is TERRIBLE. The smallest fault in the road surface produces crashing and banging and shocks through the vehicle. the vehicle has done only 35k miles. I have returned the car twice to the garage where I bought it (second hand in 2012)to be inspected - no fault can be found. Luckily it is my work horse vehicle used for short trips - I couldn't bear it if it were my main vehicle.

This car has suffered from very bad Telemetry problems which started around at around 20,000 Miles. (rear subframe problem) Despite this being fixed (?) by the Citroen Factory (not the main Dealer) the *Tracking goes out of adjustment very, very easily. The Rear near side tyre wear remains uneven and VERY excessive. *Best to avoid running over thick sweet wrappers and never ever go near a Kerb not even if its flush with the road surface! (not joking) Have had numerous other problems, timing belt adjuster self destructed twice at less than two thirds of specified wear expectancy. Exhaust Shield bolts fail regular and things you would not expect to regularly come loose/fall off. Citroen build quality really does leave a lot to be desired. Now at just under 5 years old the Tailgate and also the floor is suffering from corrosion/rust the Floor from inside the near side rear passenger door, just underneath the sliding door track. The Tailgate from underneath the handle/number plate light. The 11 year anti perforation warranty does not cover this! The Citroen Warranty is a waste of time. You have been warned!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Practical, although I suspect there is some kind of design fault that causes inside of rear tyres to wear quickly.

An excellent purchase, comfort very good, bought to carry a wheelchair (no mods) which it does and still allows for luggage. Ease of access very especially the sliding side doors. reliability excellent.

I chose this car because it met all my needs. It is economical to run. The engine capacity is large enough to tow my small caravan. The 'boot' area fits in two dog cages easily side by side and the height allows for cages to stacked on top of each other.When the cages are taken out and the back seat folded down there is ample room for taking things to the tip, collecting new tumble dryer etc.The large back door is a bonus as it gives shelter from rhe rain at shows as gives ease of access!! I also like the sliding back passenger doors - very useful in car parks! The interior has plenty of handy stoage areas in doors roof area and a useful 'aircraft type locker over boot area. I find the seating comfortable, but need a back support as I do in all cars. Older people find it easy to get in and out of the passenger side because the door opens wide and the seating is higher than a normal car. Servicing is reasonable and done once a year. My only 'niggle' is the clutch pedal is very hard to depress. I am aware of this but only really realise this after driving a car with a 'soft' clutch. I love my Berlingo!

practical, easy driving, efficient confortable

A good cheep to run and ensure work horse carries dog and shopping tows a trailer nothing is computerised and it does not let me down and it only cost £1,600 3 years ago and will hopefully run for a good while longer

Car fourteen months old when purchased, no Spare key or Vehicle Security Card with car, costing me £200 for card plus cost of new key. At 20,000 miles all 4 tyres started to wear unevenly VERY BADLY, despite repeatedly altering tracking this continued, getting less than 5000 miles before tyres were dangerous. Citroen Dealer no help at all, had vehicle telemetry checked at own expense, all okay. Repeated contact with Citroen proved to be useless, other owners started reporting same trouble on Berlingo Owners web site, continued to pester Citroen Customer Services until vehicle was taken away by them for repair. Car returned after two weeks with problem sorted out. *Dealer had nothing to do with this and could not tell me what the fault was nor what repair had been carried out! 40,000 miles Cam Chain Adjuster self destructed, repaired under Warranty. 65,0000 miles tyres began wearing unevenly again, n/s rear being the worst, tread from inside wearing VERY BADLY. Vehicle now no longer under Warranty and various Garages (including local Main Dealer) unable to tell me what was/is causing this. 80,000 miles Rusting on floor area just inside rear passenger door (corroding on edges of seam) , also tailgate badly rusted on mounting holes for number plate. Contact Citroen Customer services, advised that at just under five years old my car is no longer under warranty. Visit Dealer who advises me (at my own expense) to have a professional body shop measure thickness of paint around affected area then contact Citroen depending on results. **Look at Citroens Anti Perforation warranty terms and give up! I'll never go near another Citroen again!

This is my third berlingo and would not hesitate to buy another
