🚨 What to check before buying
Overall risk score: 10/10
Serious risks
- AdBlue injector crystallization: AdBlue deposits block injector nozzle.
- DPF pressure sensor failure: Differential pressure sensor gives false DPF full errors.
- Higher mileage (183,140 km) — check for timing system condition, turbo health, and suspension wear
Additional notes
- PSA 1.6 BlueHDi has complex emissions system (SCR + DPF + EGR). AdBlue injector crystallization, DPF clogging in city driving, and NOx sensor failures are common. Budget €300-1,000 for emissions-related repairs.
- 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.
- PSA 1.6 HDi (Ford TDCi) with 130k+ km: turbo failure is the main risk. The turbo on these engines is oil-cooled only (no water cooling) and runs at very high temperatures. Carbon deposits build up and the turbo seals fail, dumping oil into the intake. Turbo replacement costs €800-1,500. ALWAYS check for oil smoke on boost and listen for turbo whine/rattle. Also check DPF condition.
