Buyer's Guide & Data from our Checks
The CITROEN SAXO (1996-03) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.1 DESIRE REV 99 is a small five-door supermini, made for straightforward, affordable motoring. It sits in the UK city-car market alongside cars such as the Ford Fiesta, Vauxhall Corsa and Peugeot 106, offering useful rear access and a compact footprint for town driving.
mycarcheck.com has recorded 368 look-ups across 241 different VINs, giving a useful snapshot of interest in surviving examples. Checks show an average private-sale valuation of £200 and average recorded mileage of 75,000; annual mileage averages 5,000, while cars have had about four previous keepers. These are averages, not a guarantee of any car’s condition or value.
Its 1.1-litre engine suits local trips, commuting and first-time drivers seeking an easy-to-place car rather than speed. Five doors add practicality, while the Saxo’s light, simple feel remains appealing. Compared with newer rivals, it offers fewer comforts, so check condition carefully for everyday use.
Buying a Saxo? Outstanding finance, theft, write-offs, hidden damage or clocked mileage can turn a cheap car into a costly mistake. Enter the reg now and check before you commit.
