About the Citroen Berlingo

Enter the 17 characters of a Citroen Berlingo VIN and the decoder returns the manufacturer, the model year and the country of manufacture, free and without registration. Our data lists 9 versions of the Berlingo, from Citroen Berlingo I (Phase I, 1996) to the Citroen Berlingo III M and III XL facelift versions of 2024, with model years running from 1996 to the present and power from 71 to 131 hp.

A VIN does not contain accidents, mileage, theft records or previous owners, so the decoder cannot show them; that information comes from a paid vehicle history report. On a Berlingo you are considering, compare the decoded year and country with the registration document and the advert.

How many versions of the Citroen Berlingo are in your data?

How can I tell which Berlingo version a car is from its VIN?

Start with the model year, which is the 10th character of the VIN, and match it against the version years in our data, for example 2008 for Berlingo II (Phase I) or 2018 for Berlingo III M and XL (Phase I). The decoder reads only the VIN, so for the exact phase or for M versus XL, check the registration papers as well.

What should I compare between the VIN plate and the documents?

All 17 characters should match exactly between the plate on the car, the registration document and the advert. Letters I, O and Q are never used in a VIN, so if one appears, look for a misread or a typing error. The model year and country of manufacture from the decoder should also fit what the seller tells you.

What will the VIN decoder not tell me about a Berlingo?

It will not show accidents, mileage, theft or owners, because none of that is stored in the VIN. It also cannot say which engine output a given car has within the 71 to 131 hp range in our data.
