I rang the chap up and it has failed the MOT on suspension. Possibly the hydraulic pump but not certain.
Everything else was OK. HAD A NEW AUTOBOX i was told!
Owner now has a C6.

I'm just off the phone to these guys...
Apparently the only problem with this car is the hydraulic pump is leaking LHM which caused it to fail it's MOT.
As the pumps are not available from Citroen it's being sold by the garage as they bought it off the customer.
The car has had one owner since it was 6 months old.
It's recently had a BRAND NEW gearbox fitted to it as well as 4 new tyres etc.
The guy says it does drive but obviously leaks LHM.
Could be a nice car...
David.

Hey, I already got one
I have enough on my plate with one, let alone two...Be warned, the HP pump is devil to get at and this might have put the dealer off. They are availablea sd they look the same as on a Xantia V6 but ten times as hard to get at....
In view of this though, it does make me wonder what else is wrong with it. Now I have mine I already know there is a lot to check
I'd want to look at it very closely before bidding on it as I bet there are many other issues lurking...

At its present price it is still good value for spares alone.

Hmmm, went for £775. Not bad I guess...
Hope it's gone to a good home...
