High Quality & Reliable Citroen Berlingo WAVs for Sale
The Citroën Berlingo Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle (WAV) is a versatile and practical mobility solution designed to provide independence and comfort for wheelchair users.
Accessibility & Safety
The Citroen Berlingo WAV is designed with accessibility and safety in mind, making it an excellent choice for those requiring mobility solutions. One of its standout features is the rear ramp, which facilitates easy entry and exit for wheelchair users. This ramp is complemented by a lowered floor conversion, ensuring ample headroom and a smooth ride. The vehicle is equipped with a secure 4-point wheelchair tie-down system, which firmly secures the wheelchair during transit, enhancing safety.
Additionally, lap and diagonal safety belts are provided to ensure that both the wheelchair user and any passengers are safely restrained. The Berlingo's spacious interior, characterised by its boxy design and wide-opening rear doors, allows for comfortable accommodation of wheelchair users alongside additional passengers. This thoughtful layout not only prioritises accessibility but also maintains a high level of comfort and convenience for all occupants. With these features, the Citroen Berlingo WAV effectively combines practicality with user-friendly design, making it a popular choice among families and individuals seeking reliable mobility solutions.
Vehicle Specifications
The Citroen Berlingo WAV offers a versatile and practical vehicle configuration designed to meet the diverse needs of wheelchair users and their families. Typically, this model provides seating for 3 to 5 passengers, striking a balance between accommodating a wheelchair user and additional travelers. The standard layout includes a single wheelchair capacity, ensuring ample space and secure positioning for the wheelchair occupant.
In terms of drivetrain, the Berlingo WAV is predominantly equipped with a manual transmission, which many drivers prefer for its direct control and potential for better fuel economy. The vehicle is powered by a diesel engine, a popular choice in this segment due to its combination of efficiency and torque. Diesel engines are well-suited for WAVs as they provide the necessary power to handle the additional weight of the conversion while still offering good fuel economy for longer journeys.
This configuration makes the Citroen Berlingo WAV an excellent option for families or caregivers who need a reliable, spacious, and efficient vehicle that can comfortably transport a wheelchair user along with additional passengers. The flexibility in seating arrangements, coupled with the robust diesel engine and manual transmission, provides a practical solution for everyday mobility needs.
Reliability You Can Trust
Citroen vehicles are renowned for their reliability, making them an excellent choice for wheelchair accessible vehicles. You can confidently hit the road knowing your WAV can handle the miles without issues.
The Citroën Berlingo is one of the most practical choices for people looking for a compact wheelchair accessible vehicle (WAV). Its box-shaped body, wide rear opening and flexible interior make it particularly well suited to wheelchair conversions, while its relatively compact exterior dimensions make it easier to live with than a larger WAV.
At FMC Cars, we regularly stock used and nearly new Citroën Berlingo wheelchair accessible vehicles in a variety of configurations, including manual and automatic models.

Who Is a Citroën Berlingo WAV Best For?
A Berlingo WAV can be particularly suitable for:
- A wheelchair user travelling as a rear passenger
- Manual wheelchair users
- Many powered wheelchair and powerchair users
- Families needing additional passenger seating
- Couples where one person uses a wheelchair
- Parents or carers transporting a wheelchair user
- Buyers wanting something smaller than a large WAV
- Drivers who regularly use towns, car parks and residential roads
- Buyers looking for an automatic wheelchair accessible vehicle
The Berlingo's biggest attraction is its balance of accessibility, interior space and relatively compact exterior dimensions.
Who Might Need a Larger WAV?
A Citroën Berlingo will not suit every wheelchair user.
A larger wheelchair accessible vehicle may be more appropriate where:
- The wheelchair user has a particularly high seated height
- A large powered wheelchair requires additional manoeuvring space
- Several passengers need to travel alongside the wheelchair user
- Two wheelchair users need to travel together
- Significant medical equipment must be carried
- The wheelchair user needs to travel alongside several rear passengers
- A wheelchair lift is required instead of a ramp
- A different wheelchair travelling position is required
This is why we recommend choosing a WAV based on the person and wheelchair first, rather than choosing a particular vehicle model and trying to make it fit afterwards.
Citroën Berlingo WAV Dimensions
There is no single set of wheelchair-access dimensions for every Citroën Berlingo WAV.
This is because the original Citroën vehicle is modified by a specialist WAV converter. The converter, floor design, ramp and seating configuration determine many of the measurements that matter to a wheelchair user.
As an example, one current Citroën Berlingo-based conversion has specifications including:
| Accessibility measurement | Example measurement* |
| Wheelchair entrance width | 820 mm |
| Maximum entrance height | 1,370 mm |
| Ramp width | 830 mm |
| Ramp length | 1,248 mm |
| Ramp angle | 14.4° |
| Internal roof height | 1,418 mm |
| Maximum wheelchair weight | 200 kg |
| Maximum ramp safe working load | 400 kg |
*Example specifications from one Berlingo conversion. These figures should not be assumed to apply to every used Citroën Berlingo WAV.
