Over the years, Citroen has come up with more than a few quirky ideas. The second car it produced, the 1922 Type C 5HP, became known as the ‘petit citron' (little lemon) because of its small size and the yellow paint colour you could order it in. Since then, there has been the Citroen Picasso, taking inspiration from Pablo Picasso's use of shape. The Citroen DS 19 was the vehicle of choice for the French President Charles de Gaulle, who survived an assassination attempt in 1962 thanks to the car's superior suspension system, allowing his chauffeur to drive away after two of the tyres were shot.

The Citroen Berlingo may not be the most stylish MPV on the road, but what it lacks in appearance, it more than makes up for in practicality, spaciousness and affordability. Not only is it cheap to buy, but it's also cheap to run and has relatively few common problems. Citroen has issued recalls relating to the steering column and seat belts in some models. The top-end diesel engine achieves 0-62 mph in 11 seconds with a top speed of 114 mph, and the petrol version is 0.5 seconds slower. In 2023, Auto Express awarded the Berlingo four stars out of five.

Power steering is designed to reduce the effort required by the driver to turn the steering wheel. Without this system, the steering in your car would be extremely heavy, making it challenging to do low-speed manoeuvres.

Common problems requiring a power steering repair include low or leaking power steering fluid, loose or broken belts, worn hoses and a damaged pump. You should contact a power steering specialist if you notice any of the following symptoms:

• Stiff steering
• A squealing or whining noise
• Vibrations felt through the steering wheel
• Low or discoloured power steering fluid

Most cars need a power steering fluid flush every 40,000 to 80,000 miles, and this distance is usually specified in the owner's manual. If it has been longer than the recommended distance since your vehicle's system was flushed, booking a power steering and fluid service should be a priority.
