Additional notes
- Diesel car from before 2018 with very low mileage suggests city-only use — DPF is likely clogged or has been removed (illegal). Check DPF status and EGR condition.
- C5 diesel auto (62 listings, avg 226k km, €5k) — hydropneumatic suspension (Hydractive III+) is unique to Citroen: sphere replacement €200-400 each (4-6 spheres), hydraulic pump failures €800-1500, and LHM fluid leaks. Combined with high-mileage 2.0 HDi engine issues, this is a specialist-only car.
