The CITROEN BERLINGO MULTISPACE (1998-08) 5DR MPV 1.9D DESIRE is a compact five-door people carrier, not a conventional hatchback or SUV. In the UK, it offers a practical, van-inspired alternative to family MPVs such as the Renault Kangoo and Peugeot Partner, with an upright shape designed around useful space. It suits families, carers or anyone needing easy access and room for errands, luggage or bulky items. The simple diesel character is suited to everyday journeys, while its tall cabin and flexible load space distinguish it from ordinary small cars. As with any older vehicle, condition and service history deserve close attention. Mycarcheck.com recorded 218 look-ups across 114 distinct VINs, a useful snapshot of buyer interest. Average private-sale value was £800; recorded mileage averaged 115,000, annual mileage 10,000, and previous keepers about 5.5. Check each car’s history carefully. It remains an affordable, versatile alternative to a small estate or family hatchback.
