Petrol against the other Citroen Berlingo versions
| Fuel | Pass rate | Tests |
|---|---|---|
| Diesel | 68.6% | 166,557 |

Why the fuel type changes the number
Petrol cars avoid the DPF and emissions failures that catch diesels, and usually fail on the same consumables as any other car.
On the Citroen Berlingo specifically, electric is the strongest at 81.3%, and this petrol version sits 0.7 points above the 68.7% model average.
What it means if you are buying one
There is little to choose between fuel types on this model, so decide on running costs and mileage rather than MOT record. Check the exact car, decode the VIN and check the mileage before you bid.
Mileage is part of the answer
The average petrol Citroen Berlingo had covered 87,122 miles at test, against 97,519 for the diesel and 26,030 for the electric. That is above average, the point where suspension bushes, drop links and exhaust corrosion start showing up as advisories before they become failures.
Fuel type and mileage are tangled together: diesels are usually bought by higher-mileage drivers, so some of any gap between fuels is the miles rather than the engine. The per-year figures on the Citroen Berlingo page separate age from fuel if you want to isolate one.
