I forgot to add my mechanics bill to the grand total 🤦🏼♂️ Please add £154 to my sums or knock £154 off my profit 😂
Brilliant. It’s still a double-up. Chip the £99 worst a double or take a swapper and go forth
Didnt add in the arm rests either - did you find it and just fit them or did you buy replacements?
Another great video Matt always a pleasure to get the notification a new HPA upload is waiting 👌🏻
what about the arm rests?
That mechanics bill seems very reasonable Matt. Were the advisories addressed? So cheap for a cv boot and corrosion issues.
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 UA-cam channel. So keep them coming!
I had a berlingo van 1.6hdi 2008. Did 420k miles. Same engine and gearbox. It’s still going at 600k miles.
Did 4th gear go notchy?
@@Paul-ue8tn no, never. My friend has it for last 6 years. Still going 💪
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.
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!
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
Greetings from Slovenia. I still miss my Berlingo....😢
@@histriamagna1014 I didn’t intend to buy it except to help my parents get in and out of car. But will now keep it until it dies. It cant tow much and safety would be bad I think
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.
I've said the same before. It's like he knows you and very welcoming. I bet Matt is a good salesman too!
I too have a similar vehicle that people mock. A mk 4 mondeo 225k plus and climbing. Maintained by myself. You keep that workhorse going pal 👍 don't ever sell it 😅
Those workhorses are worth their weight, and are always more valuable to us than anyone else@@vincentyerkess7230
Looks lovely, my dream vehicle to tour around Europe, robust and roomy.
Another car saved.
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 UA-cam needs. Keep up the good work.
Thanks 👍
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.
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!
Great to hear!
What about “ a new set of plates “ ? And fit them your self for the full Goodwin treatment!
Good god. You must have not had very good cars if that monstrosity is the best you've had.
Depends what you want a vehicle for. Many of us simply use a car as the tool it really is - not as a posing pouch. For that purpose, van derived cars are ideal carrying stuff and people from A to B, bikes, kids, stuff.
@@thecreepero3921Not even gonna ask what you are driving
Well done Matt. You forgot to mention how you got the driver's armrest.
This is the best series in UA-cam. Really interesting and well made videos. Allways waiting for a new one
Glad you enjoy it!
Another good video, Matt. The Berlingo is another that many people would buy if they weren't so snobby about cars!
yet another superb video from matt...... loving the simplicity of your videos 👌👌
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. 😎👌🏻
I love seeing your commitment to these cars you are a "car whisper" great videos each and every time.
Thanks Matt, love these cheap n cheerful vlogs of yours, always the optimism 😊
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😊
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 👍🏻
This channel just keeps getting better. A real inspiration.
Keep it up Matt! Have a nice weekend.
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.
Great video with another honest assessment 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
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.
Yeh my thoughts exactly.
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 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.
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 😁
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.
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.
Its the newer version of Bella (HubNut's Berlingo)
Nah matt spent a lot less than Ian’s heap😂😂😂
Hahaha
you are one amazing person and good at your job l wish I was like you keep up the good work you do,
this is the one Ian wanted the multispace...but its in too good nick for ian lol
Prefer the look of Ian’s but bless him he doesn’t get the best examples!
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.
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 !
excellent video, it's nice to see you actually be in with a chance to make a decent profit on this one
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!
Great video HPA, well done Matt, great work, lovely profit 👌👍😀
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.
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 👍
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 👍
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.
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.
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😂
I have 4 of those little doors in the roof lining, they are for an internal roof rack. I bought my 63reg Partner Tepee Outdoor as unaltered motability vehicle in 17. Still only got 55,000 on it, just done cam belt etc and a full service, just needs front discs now. But it’s Euro 5 so I have to decide the best time to get rid at the best price. Absolutely love it, older relatives can access easily.
Really happy for you Matt that this one brought you luck. It’s about time. Great practical car! Great entertaining channel.
Thanks! 👍
Mat,
The steel plate at the back of the tow-hitch, is a foldable, detachable, bike rack attachment.
I have one, they're brilliant.
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.
Loving the consistency Matt your videos have become my go-to evening entertainment.
Thanks!
Thank you for helping me buy a decent second hand car, great informative videos.
Hi Matt. Love your work 👍
Glad to see this one worked out a good buy for a change
It's quite reassuring to see that its timing belt has been replaced. My 208 has a DV6 engine (albeit the 8v, 92hp version) with an interval of 10 years/112,000 miles, and it got its changed a few months before its 10th birthday at about 70,000 miles on the clock, and whilst that was still more than 40,000 miles before the mileage interval, the belt was supposedly quite worn (though I never saw it myself). Definitely do what comes first, and keep to service intervals.
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.
Nice motor John. Just hope the injectors don't start leaking as it approaches 100k.
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.
Your enthusiasm led me to believe it was going to be a keeper for your collection stable! 😎
Love the colour description , "dusty blue" . That is right up there with misty buff or mint sunrise.
Great video again. Loved it.
😅
My dad needed a car that could carry a mobility scooter without taking it apart. Found a 2012 semi auto with 45k last may…… paid £5800 and only problem was sometimes it wouldn’t change up past 3rd in auto. Turned out it was the brake pedal switch and since changing it been perfect. Can’t find one identical for less than 7k now with similar miles.
Love the vid! Can't wait to see what's next you got in store for us. :)
Thanks
Love it!
Upon finding evidence of a cambelt and waterpump change....." I'm going to buy it a new steering wheel" and "they're not bad these"
It's amazing how much even more up beat you became!😊
I suppose that's the point you know.... Profit possible! 😁👍
Well done Matt, keep up the good work 👏
That’s right. I knew there was a bit of hope
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.
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.
The three separate and easily removable seats in our Allure spec one are great for carrying single or pairs of bikes, add a tip away towbar rack a and you can make it clear 4 bikes and still open the tailgate!! Otherwise - the separate opening tailgate window is your friend! We have managed three bikes on the roof and 4 on the towbar!!
Yes timing belt sticker...Always good ..Had my van serviced and the mechanic put a sticker on ..Plus noted in the service book
I like this van, nice score, easy flip and so versatile, Nice break from the low budget city cars.
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.
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 ❤
I have a Peugeot version of this, same age, same mileage, same broken armrests, same manky steering wheel and love it. It starts every time never lets me down cheap to run. I have the 7 seat version it needs suspension link bars most MOTs and yes both the original keys fell to bits!
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.
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.
Did you ever change the cam timing chain before 420k km?
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.
Can't go wrong with a multispace, had two and I'd strongly consider another.
Really want one of these even though my lifestyle doesnt require one in the slightest.
Happy to hear youre finally going to get a solid bit of profit!
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.
Sensible, practical vehicle, hopefully that will sell without much of a problem.
It scrubbed up really well 😳 really insightful video as always 👍🏻great job!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video and buy as always Matt!
Im glad that i didnt hear Matt say "Ive overspent" xD
Looks like new Matt! :D
Hi great job on the wee car, from marty in Belfast northern Ireland God bless
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
Best CAR!! on the planet I've had 2 of them!
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.
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!
Damn, i came across your channel a couple days ago and im addicted to these cheap cars videos!
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.
Berlingo's are very good news IMO. Nice one Matt.
Great cars if looked after. Much more interesting to some of us real world people that the exotic stuff! More please.
Peugeot 207 steering wheel is a direct fit and matches up to the airbag perfectly. That dash trim has been spray painted, they don’t come like that from factory.
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.
My dad taxied 2 of these, very reliable and if I ever got the chance to drive them found them good to drive quite punchy for what they are. Congrats on the great turnaround of this one, someones gonna get a real nice motor
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. 😀
Had a Xreg Berlingo when two of my children were in Uni, great for moving all the gear they accumulate. Also the air con was very useful when travelling to Cornwall from Lincolnshire. Only issue I had with it was front coil springs breaking, not great at 70 on the A1. This happened a couple of times and was told it was a common fault. I now have a C4 and fortunately have not experienced this problem.
Same achilles heel on its smaller sibling, the Nemo / Bipper / Qubo.
Had a couple of these. First was a 2009 1.6 diesel and it was pretty decent. More recently I owned a Peugeot Partner 2016 1.6 diesel top spec 120bhp. I wouldn't touch the more modern ones as issues with ad-blue injectors every 70k miles, DPF issues despite motorway mileage and if it's stop start the cost of alternator and battery will make your eyes water.
Key fax in dukky are great. When my dad worked he used them as one of his suppliers.
Quite like the colour on that, especially the matching interior blue. Reminds me of the latest gen VW New Beetle.
Congratulations Matt 🙂
Nice to see you make a few bob!
Great video and content.
Ace video great work
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!
Круто, поздравляю с покупкой! Удачи на дорогах с новым Citroen Berlingo! 🚗💨
We had a First Gen Berlingo in our Family for over TWENTY years, and it has only stranded us twice in total.
What i loved about it was you kept a sorta car-like driving position, what the second gen sadly lacks. Otherwise i'd have definetely looked into that.
