An old friend died recently and he owned an almost brand new Berlingo: first registered end-January 2019 and with less than 1000 miles (1500 km) on the odometer.
I've been offered the chance to buy it but I don't know what model it is, and the original purchase documents can't be found.
What I do have is the registration document. Now to make it all a bit more complicated both the old friend and I live in France, so it's not a V5 but what they call the Carte Grise (CG).
According to the CG it has 5 seats, an 1199cc petrol engine, rated at 81KW, and CO2 emissions in gm/km of 119.
There is obviously also the VIN, which starts VR7ERHNPJJJ.... and a model/version code which is ERHNPJ-A1F000.
There seem to be three levels of trim, in France they are "Live", "Feel" and "Shine" (from cheapest to most expensive). Is there any way of telling which this is, or do I need to look for key features which will mark it as one thing or another?
I'd be grateful for any comments. I just hope this isn't too stupid a question!
Thanks in advance.
