what model ?

[solent night]

Hi I am planning to change my vehicle in the next 6 months I have my sights on either a Doblo, Teepee or Berlingo, which is top of my list. All the Berlingo owners I have spoken with seem to love their motor with a passion. From the vehicle spec it will meet my needs of:
Carrying 4 bikes on a tow bar mount.
3 passengers;
light camping (although with 3 generations of females on board I usually carry more supplies than Rommel took across Libya).

The usual car reviews reccommend a diesel, but in the last 6 years I have only done 28k miles and am being put off by tales of DPF failures.. I am not too fussed about economy and can afford any of the range + extras.

So what spec and whether diesel or petrol?

Well not all of the diesels have a dpf, ie the 90 bhp version Berlingo, personally I would go for the diesel, as it drives so much better than the petrol in the way it delivers the power, and smoothness. Just make sure you change the oil more frequently than the manufacturers recommend, and you will have no problems.

many thanks for the info. But what about my low mileage and short trips (28k over 6 years) will this have any effect on a diesel performance?
