2006 Citroen C3 Hatchback 1.4 HDI Diesel

Description

So, I’ve got this 2006 Citroen C3 hatchback in silver — it’s a 1.4 HDI diesel, manual, 1398cc, five doors. Honestly, it’s been sitting in my garage in Banwell, North Somerset, and I’m finally getting ready to part with it.

It’s been well looked after — had a new timing belt and water pump at 93k, and the LUK clutch kit was done less than 200 miles ago. All brakes — front and rear — were replaced recently, and the suspension ball joints were sorted too. It’s not quite 100k on the clock, but the odometer says 98k. The service history is solid, and it’s got a full MOT until November 25th.

I’ve done everything I could think of for reliability — all the advisories have been covered except the exhaust, which I’m happy to fix if needed. It runs smooth, feels like it’s been driven less than it’s actually been, and the 1.4 HDI turbo engine is actually quite lively for its age.

It’s got a low tax group, runs on fresh air, and gets decent mileage. Insurance is super cheap too — I’ve actually been using it for local trips and it’s been a real joy.

It’s not flashy, but it’s reliable, quiet, and drives better than you’d expect from a car this old. I’m thinking of selling it because I’m moving to a different area, and I’ve found a few good used cars that feel like they’ve been maintained properly — this one’s one of them.

If you’re looking for a solid, low-maintenance, reliable car that’s not too expensive to run, this might just be the one. Price is £630 — I’m not trying to sell it for a lot, just wanted to get it out of the way.
