Used Peugeot and Citroën inspection
We inspect used Peugeots and Citroëns at dealers and private sellers.
Known problems
Common on Peugeot 208, 308, 2008, 3008, 5008 and Citroën C3, C4, C5 Aircross, Berlingo. Not every car has these faults. They're what we look for.
The 1.2 PureTech petrol used from about 2013 has a belt that runs in oil and can break up, blocking the oil pick-up and starving the engine. Stellantis has offered extended cover in some cases, so ask a dealer about the car you’re looking at.
AdBlue tanks and pumps can fail, bringing up a warning that the car won’t start after a set number of miles.
Older 1.6 HDi diesels can leak at the injector seals and starve the turbo of oil.
Many older Peugeot and Citroën diesels use an additive tank for the particulate filter, which needs topping up at service.
Models like the Citroën C4 Picasso are known for electronic parking brake faults.

Yes. The inspector comes to wherever the car is, on a forecourt or at the seller’s home or workplace. You don’t need to be there.
