I forgot to add my mechanics bill to the grand total 🤦🏼‍♂️ Please add £154 to my sums or knock £154 off my profit 😂

I had a berlingo van 1.6hdi 2008. Did 420k miles. Same engine and gearbox. It’s still going at 600k miles.

My dad had an earlier model that he bought new. When he passed away in 2017 it had clocked 225,000 miles. Apart from wear and tear items and servicing it never cost him anything! Its still going to this day! I bought one based on his experience and its been brilliant! Such a good workhorse!

I had a Berlingo on a holiday in France and it was The greatest family mover I could ever want. Quite comfy and easy to drive too. I must be getting old, but I think they are great 'real world' cars for daily use.

Matt, thease videos ARE more exciting than you think. Especially when you review cars we've never seen stateside, like this Berlingo. My whole life (to my wife's displeasure), I have bought old, cheaper cars and enjoyed the process of fixing them up, selling them and moving on to the next. Actually, I'm able to get my fix by watching your videos. Well...not really, because the car buying bug is an illness for which there is no cure. But - watching you buy cars I'll never hope to own makes yours my favorite KZfaq channel. So keep them coming!

Another video that just draws you in. I'm sure this has been said many times, Matt, but you have the knack of making it feel you are just having a chat with me in the passenger seat, rather than your thousands of viewers. Quite the skill, and a very charismatic approach. My missus is a fan, too, and she finds cars interminably dull.Must be the boyish good looks and the razor sharp quiff... Keep up the good work.

Got the earlier model of this a 1,6 petrol 60k miles then. Bought 6 yrs ago for £2200 sliding doors for my elderly parents. Never had a thing go wrong except back box. Many more miles now. Totally fantastic versatile car. Borrowed by many and piss taken out by the same until they borrowed it. I was expecting electrical gremlins - none. Underneath no rust, smooth, economical, reliable comfy as heck and practical. So good I have kept it as a spare car for anyone in the family. £126 insurance and bad news of £336 road tax. Tyres £40 a piece. Had sofa, double bed 5 bikes etc etc. not desirable but very much do it all truck. Heard bad things about diesels if not maintained and auto boxes. . Mine 100% more than I can say for Vw and Audi. Mine not got single spec rust anywhere a2007. Car was bought with cambelt and water pump at 60k … due another soon. Very accessible and will do my own. Genuine workhouse and I am very much a fan. All those that borrow it change their minds. Still on original clutch too

The cheaper and more real world these cars get, the more excellent these videos get. Mate your up there with Drive Tribe for my automotive KZfaq needs. Keep up the good work.

Looks lovely, my dream vehicle to tour around Europe, robust and roomy. Another car saved.

I have one, a 2010 model, had it 10 years now and its on 155000 miles. Serviced every year and totally reliable despite being used as a van, would definitely recommend and have another one.

Love my Berlingo - best car I’ve ever had! And over the past few months, your videos have inspired me to smarten it up with a new wing mirror, new number plates, some minor bodywork touch ups, a set of tailored mats and a good clean!

These things don't feel the strongest but they can take some serious abuse. We have had 3 vans and a tepee mobility version. Both diesels and petrols. Amazingly practical things.

This is the best series in KZfaq. Really interesting and well made videos. Allways waiting for a new one

I owned a 2011 XTR 112 HP Hdi. It was the most practical family hauler you can think of. The only downside was the noisy ride on the highway due to lack od good sound insulation. I miss him so much. Happy 180.000 km with no faults. And it was clean inside😊

I always fancied a Berlingo as a replacement for my Omega Estate. But the Mrs threatened divorce every time I mentioned it. Having been married for nearly 30 years, at times it's really tempting to get one! 😊

A nice cheap upgrade on these is the steering wheel. You can get a nice leather one of the 206, C3 etc from the scrapyard for a few quid and it instantly lifts the interior. The one size fits all within PSA works in your advantage because the Berlingo and Partner leather steering wheels are usually sold for higher £ then the 206, C3 ones.

Well done Matt. You forgot to mention how you got the driver's armrest.

it will sell quick as its what folk need , 1.6hdi needs to be serviced no later than what the book says , had one 9 years for work (van version) long live the Berlingo (could be Citroens best car) even Clarkson rated them years ago

Thanks Matt, love these cheap n cheerful vlogs of yours, always the optimism 😊

Another good video, Matt. The Berlingo is another that many people would buy if they weren't so snobby about cars!

My friend has one of these. Really practical car, we can get our mountain bikes in the back and it’s excellent for tip runs as they don’t allow vans into the tip. They are very popular in France.

I love seeing your commitment to these cars you are a "car whisper" great videos each and every time.

yet another superb video from matt...... loving the simplicity of your videos 👌👌

Friends of ours have one and they love it, they are very outdoorsy people with two kids and are into mountian biking. It does the job perfectly.

It’s cars like this that I really look forward to seeing. Great turn around and gotta say it looks really smart at the end. Great vid as always Matt, keep ‘m coming 👍🏻

I have the Peugeot Partner previous version with the same 1.6HDi. Had it from new and it’s now on 420,000km. Fantastic car. While some of the trim is a little fragile, its van underpinnings are robust. It’s never needed any bushings, shocks, springs, joint boots or anything like that. Although it does live in the drier southern France and is always undercover. Blew the turbo at around 250k but it was worth the 1k spend to get that replaced. Great car for everything we throw at it. Not surprising if your newer version flies off the forecourt.

I had the model before this one. It was awesome! Not a looker, but it was comfy and besides the real axle pretty trouble free. And super practical.

My father in law had a Berlingo for a couple of years and loved it and both my brother in laws have one right now and love them too because they are workhorses that can do it all and they have all been really reliable too. You really cant do much better if you want space and practicality.

I have huge respect for these, the 1.6 diesel is unstoppable, they're easy to drive and they're practical. French motoring done right. Shame we can't say the same about the rest of them.

Another great video Matt, keep them coming. Love how I never know what the next vehicle is gonna be, it’s always a nice surprise. Good for keeping my car knowledge up to date too with random stuff. 😎👌🏻

So pleased you made a few quid on this car. So enjoy these weird car vids, these cars are what normal people drive and it is fun to see them scrubbed up and back on the market for Joe Soap to buy and love. Cant beat a square car- they always look charming.

You’re posts are not boring Matt. Fact is, we often don’t know which way it’s going to go, be it a scrapper, chucked back into the trade or one that’ll end up on your forecourt. The surprise on this one? You didn’t overspend and hopefully made a healthy decent profit. Keep these coming, yes it’s hard work but hey, you might even turn up on the telly one day 😁

Another spot on video Matt. I must say that I find it strangely satisfying turning my daughters VW dustbin back into a VW Up, when she visits.

Really happy for you Matt that this one brought you luck. It’s about time. Great practical car! Great entertaining channel.

Its the newer version of Bella (HubNut's Berlingo)

I thought I’d listen to something different in my car on my drive home , so I played this through bluetooth. Couldn’t see the pictures but knowing Matt’s format , it made for an enjoyable listen. My son has the van version of this , been very reliable but it does resemble a wheelie bin inside.

My friends Mrs has one she shows dogs. So much versatility in a practical package. Good to see you not getting an expensive surprise for a change. Keep em coming I find all your videos interesting and entertaining.

I had the van version 2013 with the later 8v engine with crew cab (no cam chain issues). Was the best vehicle i’ve ever owned. Absolutely bulletproof, it did 230k before I sold it, it’s still on the road and I have requested first refusal on it because I loved it so much. A few tips, the seats are a sponge for dust, the steering wheel can be replaced with one off a 307/207 GT which is leather trimmed (the airbag with the Citroen badge remains so it looks OEM). If you fit slightly oversized tyres on the front 205/60/R15 (off the top of my head) you get slightly better fuel economy at 65-70mph. Also with the aggressive the suspension rake it has on the high weight van models (850kg payload) it also levels out the ride height front to rear and looks better and drives better imo. Avoid the robotised manual, they’re expensive when (not if, when) they go wrong and even changing things like the clutch/fork is more expensive. Rear discs have bearings in them so they’re expensive. The other issue is on the white vans they look like they’ve been whitewashed by a teenager from texas. It just falls off. The engines are also tuneable, especially the older 16v. I had mine running it almost 190bhp and it flew! When it wasn’t towing a 1t trailer😂. Replaced it with a Land Cruiser and would have the Berlingo back for day to day driving for sure. It even handled well with Michelin PS4s on it!

What I love about your videos is even if your buy the same model car again, it has a different story to tell! Excellent entertainment 👍

Loving the consistency Matt your videos have become my go-to evening entertainment.

Way better value for money than a van. Daughter’s just bought one for, you guessed it, her dog walking business! You get loads of space, comfortable seats, flexible layout ( the rear seats have quick release so can be taken out easily) reasonably economical and it’s not a van!

I have an older one of these. Love my cars and bikes, have quite a lot of toys in various states of repair and modification, but the Berlingo is what i use when i dont want to be into my cars and just throw my tools in the boot and go to work or chuck my kayak on the roof and not care if i scratch the paint.

Used car prices in my country seems to be getting even more insane than the UK. Second hand Berlingo 2009 in average condition with 200k km is close to 4000 Pounds (converted from the local currency). Hell, 2 to 3 years old cars with 50 or 60k km are sold for the price of brand new one.

Hi Matt, thanks for another great review, I have to say I really like this type of car/van It is very practical, could be my next vehicle.

Keep it up Matt! Have a nice weekend.

This channel just keeps getting better. A real inspiration.

Great video. These Berlingo's (and Peugeot Partners/ Rifters) are brilliant. Good strong vehicles. I have one as a daily drive and as you say great for moving stuff around, going to the tip etc. Mine is a 2016 so has aircon. Actually really comfortable and I've taken it to France twice where, as you say, they are everywhere! PSA diesel engine is great and I get 55mpg. Great video Matt. Vive la Citroen Berlingo!

I used to use an older versions of these for work back in the early 2000s and I was always impressed by them. They were pretty comfortable and decent to drive for a cheap van and would go to high mileages despite being worked hard.

I really like the Berlingo. Very VERY practical and can be had as an EV. Even used ones like this in XTR trim don’t look too shabby as well. I love the new one as well and it can be had as an EV. Although it is just a Peugeot Partner/ Vauxhall - Opel combo/ Toyota Proace/ Fiat Doblo/ too many sibling cars😂

Love the colour description , "dusty blue" . That is right up there with misty buff or mint sunrise. Great video again. Loved it.

I love these things, and have had two of 'em. They're so achingly uncool that they are, in a perverse manner, cool. I referred to mine as 'lifestyle vehicles', which suggests that my lifestyle is akin to Claude Greengrass, which might not be too far off the truth. They're roomy, have a good driving position, cheap to run, elicit no envy, and are unlikely to ever get stolen. Definitely not magnifique, but very much tres bon.

Hi Matt, glad you did this vehicle, this is the sort of vehicle I want, after making a micro camper for myself and as you said a very practice vehicle.

Great video with another honest assessment 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

My Partner (same car) has 278,000 on the clock now. New drivers seat and a clutch. Well pleased !

I have had two Berlingo s. Fantastic car or van. I love it. Now done 82,000 . A 12 plate. 2litre diesel . I get 600 miles per tank. It's a semi automatic, Air con been repaired and front main springs replaced in the last year. Wonderful to drive., very quiet , smooth. A Joy I find.

Thank you for helping me buy a decent second hand car, great informative videos.

Great video and buy as always Matt! Im glad that i didnt hear Matt say "Ive overspent" xD Looks like new Matt! :D

By the time the video came out, the Berlingo disappeared from the autopeaks website after being there for a week or so. It appears to be sold. Good job!

I've no use for one but there is something weirdly likeable about these. Picturing trundling around France at 25mph with a load of picnic and camping gear in the back. Same vibe as the old Twingos.

Nice to see you make a few bob!

Bought a Berlingo van on the cheap and thought it was the biggest heap of French crap ever, warning lights, limp mode, strange talking messages from the dash etc, etc. Then I changed the alternator. Now I think I'm falling in love with this characterful floozy ! Alternator fixed all of its maladies !

Good call on the keys,nothing says unloved and uncared for like one key.

Great video HPA, well done Matt, great work, lovely profit 👌👍😀

excellent video, it's nice to see you actually be in with a chance to make a decent profit on this one

Nice one, Matt - good car and good profit! 👍

My dad used to have a 2010 partner tepee ... i learned how to drive in it they are a good family van/car very practical and they are perfect for family road trips ... we used to drive it for vacation from my city Constantite ( Algeria ) up to the west borders to a city called Tlemcen which is 1200 km ( 600 miles away ) ... yeaaah those sweat old days ❤

Great cars if looked after. Much more interesting to some of us real world people that the exotic stuff! More please.

Had a 2002 berlingo multi space ,best car I’ve ever owned.So practical and carried everything I put in it so well.

Bought my berlingo new 2015 for my taxi buisness, 312,000 miles just had 2nd clutch purrrs like a kitten 60 mpg not pretty but a great workhorse just keep up with the oil changes, great video matt.

It scrubbed up really well 😳 really insightful video as always 👍🏻great job!

The 1.6BlueHDI from Citroen is bullet-proof. We had it in a 2019 Berlingo. We ran it for 110,000 miles in only 3 years - we abused it and it never let us down once. We actually drove it for 10,000 miles with oil so low the dipstick would come out completely dry - yet it never broke down. We've got a new van with the new 1.5BlueHDI now - it's based on the old 1.6. Lets hope its just as good. Will definitely be looking after this new one.

Best CAR!! on the planet I've had 2 of them!

I have an older relative with a nice older Berlingo. She loves the car and has had it for over ten years. Well taken care off. The luggage space is huge. She likes that everyone in the family visits as soon as they want to borrow the car to transport something. 😀

A practical no frills little workhorse this car but honest transport for someone. You didn't massively overspend! I've notfied the media as that has to be news🤣 Anyway definitey some profit in this one for you which will make a nice change👍

Love the vid! Can't wait to see what's next you got in store for us. :)

a good buy matt i enjoyed the content

Mat, The steel plate at the back of the tow-hitch, is a foldable, detachable, bike rack attachment. I have one, they're brilliant.

Great news !!!! you will potentially make a nice little tidy profit on this one Matt. As they say>>>>>>>> if at first you don't succeed try try again. Well done mate you deserve every penny you make through sheer hard work and determination. Total regards Steve.

Nice one matt great buy for yourself and also a great buy for the new owner on the video I seen the drivers armrest in place did you get them sorted and paint the back of rear seat black ?? Well done and some good look for once 👍

We had a van version for 2-3 years. We came from a Volvo XC70 and moved on to a V70. The Berlingo didn't stand out as lacking in cargo space. Maybe they don't have it in the Multispace version but you didn't mention the cavernous centre console (which we called the oubliette) and which was much bigger than either Vovlo's offering. Good low sill for aged dogs.

Hi Matt, hope you're keeping well. Always liked these cars/vans as they're really practical. Would suit me and my powered wheelchair and the dog and the shopping and anything else you could throw in. I like the look of the Toyota Proace, a modern version of the Berlingo. I'm curious - If I go onto the gov website and want to look at the MOT details of my own car, I need to provide the V5 doc number. Yet Carvertical doesn't seem to need this. Hmmmmm. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe ad keep up the good work.

Круто, поздравляю с покупкой! Удачи на дорогах с новым Citroen Berlingo! 🚗💨

Love the channel, wait for the uploads most evenings. Particular interest in cars between 5k to 15k. Audis, BMWs, mercs and cheap little run abouts.

Hi Matt. Love your work 👍

Iv driven the van version and for a van they do drive really well. The car version is hard to get hold of as lots in south west are converted to mobility spec, also driven by lots of elderly people. But you can see why, its easy to get in and out of, sliding rear doors, no nonsense layout and controls and a huge boot that'll swallow wheel chairs, mobility scooters and shopping. People seem to want them and those who have them tend to keep hold of them.

i like to watch different kinds of vehicle you bring for us

Berlingo's are very good news IMO. Nice one Matt.

I like this van, nice score, easy flip and so versatile, Nice break from the low budget city cars.

Damn, i came across your channel a couple days ago and im addicted to these cheap cars videos!

Sensible, practical vehicle, hopefully that will sell without much of a problem.

We recently purchased a Peugeot Partner Tepee. Love it! So practical. Bought from a local dealer Southern England. Paid £3,900 but worth it. 2008. Came with a warranty. Great for taking out grandkids and elderly parents too.

Quite like the colour on that, especially the matching interior blue. Reminds me of the latest gen VW New Beetle.

my mate has one which he bought brand new in 2015 - 1.6 petrol...….all he has spent on it was a yearly service........still on original brake pads, etc. Its been used for everything and still looks good - no stone chips, rust blisters, etc. He never washes his car so its never been washed in 8 yrs...therefore no car wash swirls or scratches - interiors like a skip....currently 90k on clock.....he said he's keeping it until it dies......normally he would change cars every year......his Citroen mechanic is amazed how good it looks LOL

Yeah I love the utility of these van cars but I’ll stick to my Ford Galaxy. Would love to see a video about the Galaxy actually. Im assuming you get them come through your garage. I just serviced my auto gearbox at 170,000km as I wasn’t sure was it ever done based on your advice of servicing auto boxes. Ford we’re the only ones I could get to touch it but happy it’s done. Only a 2016 with 184,000km on the clock so hoping it’ll run a number of years yet. Well serviced so fingers crossed!

@HighPeakAutos Armrests? Where was the drivers? Who fitted them? Where they broke? I was waiting for the answers, love a good armrest these days. 😂

I have no idea why I enjoy your videos about relatively dull every day cars so much. But I do. Actually I love them. Keep up the great work.

Hi great job on the wee car, from marty in Belfast northern Ireland God bless

Great video and content.

Your enthusiasm led me to believe it was going to be a keeper for your collection stable! 😎

Love vans. Don’t know why.maybe it my age, but the practicality makes me go weak at the knees…
