My 2005 Citroen C5 Exclusive two litre hdi has 62,000 miles up. Tows 2003 Abbey Vogue 418 GTS, 1500cwt loaded.(Probably a bit more with the the gear 'er indoors takes).
Never missed a beat. Up to 53mpg solo,easy towing at 32mpg. Been all over France, Germany, Spain over the years. 136bhp but a bit more since I had the power sapping extras removed.
Never failed an MoT. Ten years old and still on original exhaust. Had to buy the usual consumables, tyres, brake pads and discs.Bought a new battery at 8 years and had an anti roll bar bush replaced. Has every conceivable extra; telematics,navigation,voice recognition for radio, telephone, destination directories, turning xenon headlights, electric heated/ moveable seats, full leather.etc. Adjustable self levelling suspension makes coupling the van a doddle. Probably worth as much as £1,800. PSA engine as used in Peugeot and I think Ford Mondeo. Bulletproof-so long as its been serviced by the book. I change the oil at 10,000 miles rather than the 20,000 recommended. Highly recommended but you need to find a good one with service history. I've been caravanning since 1970. Maybe you need a people carrier if you have the kids, but you don't need a big 4x4 to tow the average caravan.
