1996 (P-reg) Series 1 Xantia SX, 1.9TD Estate, manual transmission.
175,000 miles.
Used as my daily car since purchased in March 2016. It has been extremely reliable in that time but changing circumstances mean I need to start using something more modern, and the Xantia has been throwing up some minor but irritating 'old car' niggles - a fuel gauge that registers only some of the time, a radio that doesn't like the cold and an air conditioning system that works when it fancies it.
It has just received new MoT, so it's good until December 2024. It needed a small amount of welding on the o/side rear sill/C-pillar area. This area on both sides had been patched before I bought the car.
Drivetrain is in top condition. Engine starts instantly and cleanly, runs and pulls nicely, does about 45mpg day in day out. Timing belt and aux belt/tensioner were renewed approx. 1500 miles ago, and the oil/filter was changed at the same time.
Heater matrix was replaced (original was leaking into the air ducts) by the Chevronic Centre in 2018.
Suspension spheres were regassed, the hydraulic pump replaced (original had a slight weep) and the LHM changed last year by Pleiades specialists in Sawtry. Accumulators were replaced a few years ago and the pressure regulator is currently 'ticking' every 25 seconds.
4x new Good Year tyres fitted and the tracking/alignment was done in May 2022, 10,000 miles ago.
Interior is in good condition with no rips, tears, broken plastic, perfect headlining etc. Air-conditioning system had a lot of work done on it (new compressor, drier and pipework) in spring 2021 and was consistently blowing cold until this winter, when the compressor has been erratic about deciding to engage or not.
Fitted with a towbar and electrics.
I have receipts for parts bought/work done in my ownership, the original handbooks, the roof bars and the loadbed cover.
ASKING PRICE: £1500
