Citroen C5

Citroen C5

Watch out for suspensions problems and electrical niggles and, as ever, insist on a full service history

Gallery
What to look for
Although basically a solid car, the C5 can suffer from small niggles. These mainly involve the electrics and it isn't unknown for the electric windows to stop working completely. Make sure the car has a full service history to ensure that the complicated Hydrastine suspension has been properly cared for.

Used Prices
The heavy discounts Citroen has offered in the past have had an effect on the C5's used values. A three year-old 2.2 HDI Exclusive is already worth a staggering £12,000 less than when it was new.

Our Choice
2.2 HDI Exclusive Estate
