2021 Citroen Berlingo 1.5 BlueHDi Diesel Van Manual

Description

Got this van in 2021, and it’s been my go-to for all sorts of jobs — from deliveries to just hauling gear around. It’s a proper enterprise van, built tough with a 1.5-litre diesel engine and 100ps, good for the job without being a gas guzzler.

The interior’s got a 8-inch touchscreen with Citroen Connect — DAB radio, Bluetooth, USB and aux-in, plus sat-nav. I’ve used it loads for trips and it’s been super handy. There’s a 12V socket in the dash, and the trip computer gives me real-time feedback on fuel, speed, and gear efficiency.

It’s got full steel bulkhead, nearside sliding side door, rear parking sensors, electrically folding mirrors with temp sensors, and front windows with one-touch operation. Aircon works well, cruise control’s there with a speed limiter, and the steering column is adjustable — useful if you’re driving in different positions.

I’ve got a spare wheel, 6 load rings, and a fold-down passenger bench with a writing table — super practical for work or weekend use. The cabin has floor protection, overhead shelf, door pockets, bottle holders, and even a top box storage spot.

There’s a load hatch with a cover that meets ISO27956 standards — so if you’re doing commercial work, it’s got the right safety bits. The doors open to 180 degrees, which helps with loading. Fog lights, height-adjustable headlights, and a high-level third brake light keep it visible.

Safety-wise, it’s got airbags, a Thatcham Category 1 alarm with tilt sensor, automatic hazard lights on braking, electronic parking brake, and ESC with hill start assist. The alarm activates automatically when you stop or slow down, and it has a rolling code immobiliser.

I’ve got photos of it in real life — if you’re interested, it’s actually available to see today in Caldicot, Monmouthshire. The price is £7,649.10 — that’s what I’m charging, but the £8,499 listed online was before VAT, so that’s the base.

It’s not flashy, but it’s reliable, well-maintained, and actually works day in and day out. If you’re looking for a solid, no-nonsense van that handles the job without fuss, this one’s been around for a few years and still runs like a dream.

No fancy marketing — just a real van I’ve used, and I’m happy to show it off.
