Citroën C8 Estate (2003-2010) running costs and reliability
Miles per pound (mpp)
Fuel economy
Long term residuals are a concern, because of cashback deals for new buyers, and the fact that there are plenty of people carriers that offering seven seats and are less costly to run in terms of residuals, fuel and insurance. Petrol models will fare much worse on the used market.
The C8 performs badly on the eco front. With an average of 204 g/km CO2 across the line-up, its emissions are high for a people carrier. The best engine is the 2.0HDi with 120bhp – it emits 182g/km of CO2 and returns 41mpg.
We’ve heard of numerous faults with the C8. Although none are major problems they are faults nonetheless including numerous electrical and sensor issues which result in cars repeatedly returning to dealerships for work. If you’re buying used be aware if the car is out of warranty as these can be expensive and time consuming to repair.
