Questions to ask the seller before buying a 2011 Citroen Berlingo

Ask before you travel to see it. A seller who knows the car will have answers, and receipts.

  1. Has it had any water leaks or electrical faults?
  2. Can I see the service history and receipts for any big jobs?

What to check on a 2011 car

  • MOT history

    Check the reg below: its MOT history shows what has been failed or advised, and whether the mileage adds up.

  • Service history

    Look for regular servicing and receipts for big jobs like a cambelt or clutch.

  • Finance and write-offs

    MOT records don’t show outstanding finance or insurance write-offs. A history check does.

  • Test drive

    Listen for knocks over bumps, check every warning light goes out, and make sure the gears and brakes feel right.
