I had a Citroen C5 2.2 HDI diesel the same engine as the Peugeot for 6 years with not a moments trouble probably the best car I had.

Just come back from a trip to London, and got in the taxi at the railway station, and it was a Citroen C8 Picasso HDi on a 56 plate, and because of the engine, I looked at the mileage:

251k, and still sounded oh so sweet.

I would say if a peugeot has any rust then its been in an accident and the panel has been replaced with a non peugeot panel. 24 years of peugeot ownership and never seen any rust

Experience enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.
Everything has been said before, but since nobody ever listens we have to keep going back and saying it all over again and again and again

The trouble is the french cars seem hit and miss regarding build quality and reliability.Some will give a 5 star review and others a 0 star review.
My brother had a xara which was totally reliable but eventually died so ho got another one.The current one has had no end of problems and now he just wants rid of it as its costing so much to sort.

Another family member has a 307 and again its cost loads as its always going wrong.

I personally think you are taking a risk buying french now.
You could have a fantastic car you love that runs for years costing little or you have a lemon with big repair bills.

It seems there isnt any middle ground with them.

Sounds like a Volkswagen to me, or a Ford.

Always had VWs in the past most with very high mileage, NEVER and I mean NEVER had any problems with any of them.

Fords on the other hand.... FORD stands for Fix Or Repair Daily and in the case of ALL the fords we have ever had they have all been the same.

My nextdoor neighbour on the other hand LOVES his fords and wont hear a bad word about them lol
