🚨 What to check before buying
Overall risk score: 10/10
Serious risks
- Timing belt + tensioner: Belt every 120k km. Must change tensioner and water pump together.
- Turbo failure: Turbo can fail at high mileage. Oil starvation from blocked oil feed line is common cause. Check for oil smoke.
- DMF (dual-mass flywheel): Flywheel develops judder/rattle with age, especially on vehicles used for towing. Replacement is labor-intensive.
- Turbo failure: Turbo can fail due to oil starvation from blocked feed line. Check for oil smoke.
- DMF (dual-mass flywheel): Flywheel develops judder/rattle, especially on towing vehicles.
- Car is 11 years old — some age-related maintenance expected (seals, suspension components)
Additional notes
- Any car with 200k+ km requires extra scrutiny. At this mileage: suspension components are worn (bushings, ball joints, shocks), seals and gaskets are hardened, electrical connectors corrode, and major components approach end-of-life. For luxury cars (BMW, Mercedes, Audi) the cost of 200k+ km maintenance can exceed the car's value. Always get a pre-purchase inspection (PPI) and budget 15-25% of purchase price for immediate maintenance.
- 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 2.0 HDi (307/407/C4/C5/3008) copper injector washers leak, allowing exhaust gas into the oil. Cheap to fix if caught early (€200), extremely expensive if ignored (head damage €1,500+). Check for black mayo under oil cap.
