Used Citroen Frequently Asked Questions
Is a used Citroen a reliable car?
Absolutely. Modern Citroens have a strong reputation for reliability, leaving old stereotypes in the past. As part of the large Stellantis group, they share many proven components with Peugeot and Vauxhall, and consistently perform well in owner satisfaction surveys, making a used Citroen with a full service history a smart and dependable choice.
Are used Citroen models expensive to maintain?
Not at all; this is one of their key advantages. Maintenance costs for used Citroens are very reasonable. Parts are widely available and competitively priced, and their modern engines are known for impressive fuel efficiency, which helps to keep your day-to-day running costs low.
How well do used Citroens hold their value?
While some models may depreciate faster than rivals, this is a major benefit for the savvy used car buyer. It means you can get a comfortable, stylish, and well-equipped used Citroen for a fantastic price, representing exceptional value for money compared to many other brands.
Are Citroen cars a safe choice for families?
Yes, Citroen places a high priority on safety. Popular family models like the C3 Aircross and C5 Aircross have achieved strong Euro NCAP safety ratings. They are built with robust safety cells and are available with a range of modern driver-assistance features to help protect you and your loved ones on every journey.
What should I look for when buying a used Citroen?
The most important factor is a complete and verifiable service history, which shows the car has been properly cared for. It's also wise to test all the electronics and infotainment. To ensure complete confidence, every Approved Used Citroen from Vertu undergoes a thorough multi-point inspection.
Why is buying an Approved Used Citroen a good idea?
It's the smartest way to buy. An Approved Used Citroen from Vertu has been meticulously checked by our trained technicians to ensure all mechanical and electrical systems are in excellent working order. It also comes with a comprehensive warranty, giving you peace of mind that you wouldn't get from a private seller.
C3 Aircross vs C5 Aircross: Which SUV is the better choice?
This depends on your space requirements. The C3 Aircross is a compact SUV with a funky design and surprisingly versatile interior, perfect for city life and small families. The C5 Aircross is a larger family SUV that prioritises maximum space and class-leading comfort, making it the ideal choice for those with older children or who undertake regular long journeys.
What is Citroen's "Advanced Comfort" programme?
This is Citroen's signature innovation, designed to create a uniquely smooth ride. It combines two elements: Progressive Hydraulic Cushions - a clever suspension system that filters out bumps - and extra-padded Advanced Comfort seats. It's a reliable mechanical system that delivers a 'magic carpet' feel, setting Citroen apart from its rivals.
Are the three individual rear seats in the C5 Aircross actually useful?
Yes, they are a game-changer for family practicality. Unlike a traditional bench seat, the three identical, individual seats in the C5 Aircross can slide, recline, and fold independently. This means you can comfortably fit three child seats across, or slide seats forward to prioritise boot space, offering a level of flexibility that most rival SUVs cannot match.
