🚨 What to check before buying
Overall risk score: 10/10
Serious risks
- Car is 14 years old — expect age-related wear: rubber seals, bushings, water pump, AC compressor
- Higher mileage (195,614 km) — check for timing system condition, turbo health, and suspension wear
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.
