The Citroën Berlingo II, known by its internal code B9, is the second generation of the leisure activity vehicle/light commercial vehicle from the chevron brand. Launched in 2008, it shares its platform and many components with the Peugeot Partner Tepee/Van. It positions itself as a versatile vehicle, offering generous space for families and professionals, with appreciable modularity. Aesthetically, it benefited from two facelifts: a minor one in 2012 (new headlights, bumpers) and a more significant one in 2015 (redesigned front end, updated interior equipment).

The Citroën Berlingo II (B9) is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a practical, spacious, and economical vehicle to use. Its versatility makes it an ideal companion for large families, tradespeople, or leisure enthusiasts. For predominantly urban or peri-urban use, the 1.6i (TU5JP4) petrol engines are the most reliable and least demanding. The 1.6 VTi should be considered with caution and an impeccable service history. For road and highway use, diesel engines are more suitable. * Avoid the first versions of the 1.6 HDi (Euro 4), unless a meticulous service history proves that turbo and DPF issues have been prevented or resolved. * Prefer the 1.6 HDi Euro 5 (DV6D/C), which are more reliable, but remain vigilant about the flywheel and camshaft chain. * The 1.6 BlueHDi (Euro 6) are the most recommendable for their fuel efficiency and improved reliability, provided the AdBlue system is well maintained. Whatever the choice, a complete service history is key. The Berlingo II remains a safe bet on the used market, offering an excellent compromise between a commercial vehicle and a family car.
