The numbers

What this means if you are buying one

A 80.3% first-time pass rate means roughly 20 in every 100 Citroen Berlingo 950 En-Prise Bluehdis presented for MOT fail on the first attempt. That is better than average, so a well-kept example is a reasonably safe used buy. The average Citroen Berlingo 950 En-Prise Bluehdi tested had covered 51,733 miles and was built around 2020.

What this means at salvage auction

Pass rate is a proxy for what a car costs to keep on the road. The Citroen Berlingo 950 En-Prise Bluehdi sits 3.6 points above the national average, ranked 1,433 of 2,005 models.

Before you bid: run the lot through the analyzer, check the car's own record, check the mileage, decode the VIN, and if it carries a marker use the write-off value calculator. Or compare it against another model.
