Berlingo 625 Enterprise Hdi (2015)
Do the timing belts typically need replacing? At what mileage?
Timing Belt [and water pump] should be changed at 100,000 or 10 years according to Citroen [whichever is sooner]
A 2015 van will have both a DPF and EOLYS fluid.
If the van only has low miles, I would check very carefully for any DPF warnings/issues as a clogged DPF can be an expensive fix. They tend to get clogged if only used on lots of short journeys. If that's all okay then if you buy it, make sure you give it a good run every so often to avoid DPF issues.
EOLYS was used for a few years before the Adblue came along to reduce emissions. The early EOLYS ones [not sure of the exact dates] had an EOLYS pouch which in in the rear wheel arch behind the liner but they are prone to leaking as stones/grit invariably find their way into the area and can damage the pouch. Later vehicles the pouch was replaced by a solid container but both need to be refilled @ about 100K or sooner and normally can only be done by a PSA garage [or a good independent that specializes in PSA vehicles]as it requires resetting of the electronics after refilling. You can get a refill warning a lot sooner, if the previous users did frequent fill-ups of fuel. In that, I mean if they only used to put a small amount of diesel in each time and did frequent fill-ups, then some fluid is injected into the fuel on each refuel, so the pouch can empty a lot quicker.
Other than that, as with any van check the rear springs/suspension as often vans get overloaded. Luckily springs and shocks on the rear of this model are both cheap and easy to replace.
Also check the turbo isn't noisy under load/acceleration as that can point to a turbo on the way out.
