CITROEN C3 (2002-10) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.1 60 DESIRE

Buyer's Guide & Data from our Checks
The CITROEN C3 (2002-10) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.1 60 DESIRE is a small five-door supermini, aimed at UK driving rather than long-distance performance. Its tall, rounded shape gives it a more airy feel than some small hatchbacks, while compact dimensions make it convenient around town and straightforward to park.
With a modest 1.1-litre petrol engine, this C3 suits short journeys, local errands and commuting, especially for first-time drivers, couples or small households wanting simple, affordable transport. It is not especially quick when fully loaded, but its five doors and usable cabin are practical advantages over many two-door city cars. The Desire name identifies a trim level, though equipment can vary by example.
mycarcheck.com records 531 look-ups across 328 VINs. Checks show a £600 average private-sale valuation, 82,000 average miles, 4,000 annual miles and 3.5 previous keepers. Against rivals such as the Ford Fiesta, this C3 is known for styling and easygoing town use.
