Buying Tips for the 2012 Citroën C2

Avoid SensoDrive automated gearboxes unless you have documented proof of actuator replacement; the standard manual five-speed is vastly more reliable
Inspect the front suspension coil springs with a torch to confirm they are unbroken and that protective spring catch cups have been fitted
Check the remote central locking on both doors; faulty driver door lock actuators and frayed door jamb wiring frequently cause locking failure
Test the split two-piece tailgate; ensure the upper glass window and lower drop-down metal tailgate open and latch securely without sticking
On 1.4-litre petrol models, check the front-left corner of the cylinder head gasket for oil seepage above the alternator
