I would be put off by an apparent ABS fault costing £800 to fix, & by the rocker cover leaking... It sounds too cheap for a 2007 with those miles & I think it will probably be a money pit.

Generally I think the C3 is a good reliable car, the desire has a few extras too...

It's not too cheap for an 07 - have you actually checked the prices they're going for before posting?

How much MOT on it? Unless recently done, I wouldn't touch it without a new MOT.

Yes, it's what I do... I also prefer to search for cars with a reasonable mileage, a 2007 car with 98,000 for £2000 maybe available, but its not a car I would want to buy, likewise, the OP's car was a 2007 with various issues for £2000...

or you could get one like my sister

owned from new, 170 thousand on the clock and not a single problem

people getting excited about the 800 pound bill - i had a quote for 950 from vw to fix a problem and it turned out to be a faulty sensor that cost me 60 quid and i fitted it myself

Got to say the Peugeot/Citroen vans we've had over the past decade have been the best we've bought....by far!
