How reliable are the citreon c5 1.6 diesel. Is the engine size big enough for the body.
Hi Michael,
They’re not bad on the reliability front, but check all the electrical bits and have a good poke around the front suspension. Don’t buy anything without a full service history and make sure that the 1.6-litre diesel engine has had a really high-quality oil whenever it’s been topped up. The 1.6 is powerful enough for the body – just. Pulling caravans could be a bit of a stretch and you won’t win any Traffic Light Grand Prix, but it’s fine in day-to-day driving and very economical.
