The past and future motion of Comet P/Ciffreo (1985 XVI) is studied by means of orbital integrations, performed over several thousand years in the framework of the elliptic three-dimensional restricted three-body model, besides a more realistic restricted four-body model. Both the purely gravitational problem and trajectories are studied, taking into account the effects of simulated nongravitational forces. Although first data allowed to suppose that P/Ciffreo was a recently captured comet, the results show that its dynamical behavior corresponds to a relatively 'aged' object.
