Isn't the answer to this question ........

buy something else (unless it's an ID19/DS  )

nowadays for some reason my answers are never related to subject

I disagree with the "no rust" comments, I've welded up a few of them. The outriggers underneath the front footwells, and the boot floor to inner arch seams are the areas to look out for.

Mechanically quite simple and easy to work on.

Rear beam bearings fail, look out for negative camber on the rear wheels, thats a nasty job.

Personal opinion, but I think the driving position is horrible and the pedals too close together. But in their favour they are incredibly economical.

 A lot of useful information there  Didnt realise they had an awkward driving position , will have a good list of what to look for ... i heard one that sounded like a bag of spanners  maybe these cheap and cheerfulls get a bit used and abused without regular oil changes ...

Put 36k in 12 months on a 1.4 106

Paid 2k for it and probably spent the same again on various bits and bobs, though to be fair, I only put genuine parts on it and it had been a bit neglected Did 35-40mpg depending on how I drove it, but a fun car to bomb about in. Was sad to see the back of it, but it went to a good cause, part exed against my first Omega

If your looking for cheap and cheerful, try the 1.5 diesel 5 door
