Character

DV5 BlueHDi

"308/3008/C4/Berlingo. Replaced DV6. AdBlue/SCR system. DPF standard. Improved over DV6 but still diesel = city driving concern. Highway use: excellent economy and reliability."

PureTech 1.2T (post-2023)

"Finally switched to timing chain. Belt issues resolved. Engine of the Year redeemed. Now genuinely recommendable."
