Nice to see you posting after your period of mourning for Her Majesty the Queen, Soups.  :D

Any reason for the specific year? My son in law uses a 2015 one.

I’ve had Citroens for about 12 years, always new berlingos and always from new. I find them superb for window cleaning. I have the 1000kg payload version and a 450 litre tank.

I have a berlingo. It's a bit small but the payload is incredible. Don't fancy paying £18,500 for one though.

Was considering a used Dispatch to tide me over for the time being.

I’m in a similar situation. Lease is up soon and the prices are insane. Prob gonna have to bite the bullet on a new lease at 30% more cost, or buy used.

I don't know about the 2017 but the 1.6 is underpowered and received wisdom seems to be that you need to be very regular on servicing. The 2.0 is the one to go for. Dan the Man's is a 1.6. He has a 500L and he finds that the van is a bit underpowered. He lives with it though.

Not a fan of second hand vans but needs must.

Yep. DtM's is only 1000kg. It seems to have run OK and no issues. He bought it at 3 years old as a single operator vehicle with occasional double use if his wife helps and they go back for a refill. He is planning on keeping it at least another two or three years.

Yes, the 2.0hdi is definitely the one to go for.

You can get issues with any van, the only thing you can do is make sure it has been properly maintained - FSH.

As already said the 2.0 is a cracking engine the 1.6 is gutless. I've had both
