This used Citroen Berlingo van is a 2020 XL long-wheelbase model in Driver trim, fitted with a refrigerated cargo area and just 42,000 miles on the clock. It comes with sat nav, automatic gearbox, and three seats – and it’s priced at £20,989 with no VAT to add on top, so the price you see is the price you pay.
Under the bonnet it’s running Citroen’s 1.5-litre BlueHDi four-cylinder turbodiesel putting out 130 bhp and 300 Nm of torque. That’s paired with the EAT8 eight-speed automatic, which is the Aisin unit you’ll find across the PSA group – smooth, well-proven, and much less tiring than a manual if you’re doing town work or multi-drop rounds all day. Fuel economy on these sits comfortably in the mid-to-high 40s on a combined cycle, so running costs stay sensible.
The XL body gives you a load area around 3.8 cubic metres as standard, with a load length of just over 2.1 metres – that’s enough for a couple of Euro pallets end-to-end. Being the long-wheelbase version, it’s got a bit more room than the standard M Berlingo without getting unwieldy. The overall length is still under 4.8 metres, so it’ll squeeze into standard car park spaces and handle tight urban streets without any drama.
Why This Used Citroen Berlingo Van Stands Out
The refrigeration conversion is the big one here. A factory-spec Berlingo with a fridge setup already fitted saves you a significant outlay on aftermarket conversion, which can easily run into thousands depending on the unit. Whether you’re running a catering supply, doing pharmaceutical deliveries, or shifting fresh produce, having the temperature control already in place and ready to go is a major time and cost saver.
The Driver trim is the higher-spec level on these, so you’re getting sat nav with an 8-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, automatic air conditioning, a six-way adjustable driver’s seat with lumbar support, and front and rear parking sensors as standard. It’s well-kitted for something that’s still fundamentally a working van.
At 42,000 miles on a 2020 plate, this one hasn’t been hammered either. The Berlingo has always been one of the more popular small vans in the UK for good reason – it’s practical, cheap to run, and doesn’t give you much grief on the maintenance side. Citroen backs them with 25,000-mile service intervals on the 1.5-litre engines, which helps keep workshop time to a minimum.
The no-VAT price at £20,989 makes this particularly attractive if you’re a sole trader or small business that can’t reclaim VAT – you’re saving a decent chunk compared to a VAT-qualifying van at the same sticker price.
