CITROEN C5 (2001-08) 5DR HATCHBACK 2.0 16V SX

Buyer's Guide & Data from our Checks

The CITROEN C5 (2001-08) 5DR HATCHBACK 2.0 16V SX is a roomy, large family hatchback, positioned above everyday small cars in the UK market and aimed at buyers needing comfort and space. Its distinctive rounded styling and soft, relaxed ride give it a different character from rivals such as the Ford Mondeo, Vauxhall Vectra and Volkswagen Passat. The 2.0-litre petrol engine suits longer journeys and family duties better than the cheapest town-car role, while the SX offers a straightforward, comfortable cabin. It can appeal to commuters and families who value generous passenger room and an easy-going drive, especially if a well-equipped, older car matters more than modern fuel-saving technology. Mycarcheck.com records 12 look-ups covering 10 distinct VINs, so figures are indicative rather than definitive: average recorded mileage was 98,000, annual mileage 9,000, and owners averaged 3.75 previous keepers. The average private-sale valuation was £200, a historical check-data figure, not a current asking-price guide today.
