I know that this is a Nemo rather than a Berlingo but it does highlight the difference that electronic stability control can have. Best not to put too much stuff in the modutop then!
If you can't see the video (or more likely I have messed up trying to embed it)
Not surprised it rolled over braking at the same time as cornering like that .ESC seemed to work well but I think you would need to do quite a few more tests, as another driver may pass the test fine.

at 51 seconds, the angle of attack into that first turn the Nemo is a clear car-width further-out than the Fiat was.
(Also, I've spoken to an independent assessment panel including Richard Keys, Andy Gray, John Prescott and Jeremy Clarkson who suspect that the Nemo may have been driven by a woman?)

load of boll--ks ...any idiot driving at that speed whether in a van, landrover, range rover etc would have same issues. Remember the police going away from range rovers partly because of same reason.
Do any of us "old farts" drive like that? [ well maybe now and again......].
The mk 3 is also a lot wider so more stable one would guess.
