1997 Citroen ZX 1.4L Petrol · R652 BTX

As a 1360cc petrol engine, this Citroen ZX should fall into a relatively low insurance group and tax band, making it affordable for budget-conscious drivers. Fuel economy will depend heavily on driving style and the car's overall mechanical condition, but expect typical economy figures for a late-90s small hatchback.

Maintenance costs for a vehicle of this age can be unpredictable. While parts for older Citroens are generally inexpensive and widely available, you should budget for more frequent repairs due to the age of the components. Estimated annual running costs are likely to be modest, provided no major mechanical failures occur.

Focus your inspection on the areas not explicitly detailed in the recent MOT history. Although the 2022 MOT passed with no defects, you should manually check for corrosion on the underbody and suspension components, as these are common issues for this era of vehicle.

Given the 126,307 miles recorded, inspect the suspension bushings, shock absorbers, and brake lines for signs of wear or leaks. Additionally, check the engine bay for any signs of oil leaks around the 1.4L engine and ensure the exhaust system is secure and free from excessive corrosion.
